Honoring Our Elders Heritage University We’re capturing special moments. through eye watering photographs and video clips that will tug at your heartstrings, we've done our very best to document and highlight all of the ways we're making a mark on the lives of our elders. Welcome to my personal site for the missionaries who have served (or currently serving) in my area. i have tried to 'capture' them in natural moments throughout their service here. as can be seen by the number of pictures for each missionary, i try to capture them when i can.
Honoring Our Elders Heritage University Love for our elders (formerly love for the elderly) is a united states–based nonprofit organization that works to alleviate social isolation among older adults through volunteer‑driven letter writing and community engagement.

During covid she moved to an assisted living facility in new jersey to be closer to our family. the combination of the move and her friend passing away shortly after has left her lonely and bored. Our story we started because of a loving grandpa. “after my grandpa died, i started volunteering with older adults to find a special connection like the one we shared, but i was upset by the chronic loneliness i saw. some residents would tell me they hadn’t heard from family or friends in months.
