Elves For The Elderly

Hello Everyone,

Welcome to our GoFundMe page for 'Elves for the Elderly 2014'! 

One group of people who has always had a large spot in my heart is the elderly. I love this group of people who have given us more than we can ever know, but who often times spend the end of their lives rather lonely. Of course, many have visitors, but some live in nursing homes without any family nearby and often, without any living friends.

So that's why I decided to begin 'Elves for the Elderly' last year.

Christmas is such a happy time for many, but for some, it's just another reminder of loneliness. That breaks my heart.

So, in 2013, I decided I wanted to get very minimal gifts for every resident at Green Tree Assisted Living in Columbus and deliver to them Christmas morning with some singing and lots of joy. We were super successful and the residents were thrilled.

This year, we want to do more.

For 2015, we are planning on reaching two nursing homes - Green Tree Assisted Living and Silver Oaks in Columbus. We will deliver gifts to Green Tree Christmas Eve and then to Silver Oaks Christmas morning. 

In order to do this, we need help. We need people to help organize, to help deliver, to sing with us Christmas morning and of course, we need donations.

The gifts we give are small; about $5 per person, but since we are visiting around 120 people, the cost will be about $600.

We are all given so much each year - often times I can't even come up with things I want for Christmas, because I have so much. However, some aren't so lucky.

If you feel led to donate to this little cause, we would be so thankful. If you'd like to donate items, please email me  for ideas of what you could donate. And, of course, if you'd like to help in any other capacity I've mentioned or you think we might need, please do the same.

Thank you for helping us spread the love and share with others what Christmas is truly about.

In love,
Ali Hendricks
