Something I remember from before my Oma passed was that her childhood memories were the last to go. She had a swing just like the one we're trying to purchase for these residents in her backyard that we used to "play" on all the time when I was a kid.

As her recent memories faded, Oma was getting closer to my "mental age" through her active memories. If we can help in a small way to give some of that childhood joy back to even more seniors, let's do it.

If you're not in a position to donate financially, please consider supporting your local long-term care facilities personally by volunteering your time instead! You'd be amazed at some of the stories they can share!
