Your “Daily Dose of Uplift” for January 12th:
Five-year-old Aryana Chopra said she wanted to spread some holiday cheer to those in nursing homes who could not be with their families.
Aryana’s mother phoned a local nursing home after her daughter decided to design cards to see how many residents were at the home.
“They told me the number was 200. I went back to Aryana and asked, ‘Will you be able to make 200 cards? She was like, ‘Yes, Mommy, I can do that,” Shachi recalled.
Aryana hustled for two weeks, personalizing each card with rainbows, snowmen, and other uplifting images for the couple hundred seniors. She emptied out her piggy-bank to buy the home a gift.
“She wanted to get a cake but the cake was not allowed because of the pandemic,” Shachi said. “So we got a Santa Claus statue and a big vase.”
The nursing home reached out to Aryana and her mom personally to thank them, and also posted a cute message on social media:
“All of us here at Willow Point want to give a special thank you to Aryana Chopra for her care and generosity for our residents,” the nursing home wrote on Facebook. “Aryana has spent days make beautiful hand made cards for each one of our residents. You are going to bring so many smiles to our residents. Thank you for you generosity of cards and your special gifts.”
