We go into assisted living facilities, veteran groups & set-up virtual reality for our elderly. We would love for volunteers to join us. Socialize. Take short videos. Interact with the elderly. Asking questions. Telling them about some of the games available for them to try.
Using tools of the trade for children (gaming) we are promoting "Inter-Generational" activities.
We are trying to have presentations in the evenings to encourage our youth to participate. However, we are only able to schedule during the days. Afternoons. We want people of all ages to join us. Please give a call to find out out more. We are continuing to grow.
Have a beautiful day...

Mission Statement
Our Mission To encourage movement and companionship with seniors while teaching the next generation of young people the value of volunteerism
Description
Let me share a my greatest moment yet. I was with a lady who I am going to refer to as Ms.Jones, who is 85 years old. We put the headset on the resident. We started "Google Earth" And we typed in the correct address the family had provided. Ms.Jones has Alzheimer’s & doesn’t speak very coherently these days. In seconds Ms.Jones was in the front yard of her home from 70 years ago. It took her almost no time at all to recognize her home. Spinning around & being able to see the same home she saw every day outside her home for years growing up. Ms.Jones said "see, I told you we’d be home before dark"." She was talking almost as clear as day. Like she was talking to her sibling.Mrs.Jones has been talking about stories from her childhood home ever since.This elicited tears from everyone around & a few that have heard the story.Lives Revived & Memories Survived
For the 1st decade of this charity existence was myself going into each & every event. Covid has influenced our programming in senior living homes.
we plan on gifting virtual reality to each senior living home, one at a time. This will create the opportunity for a computer & game to be utilized 24/7 instead of just during my weekly or monthly visits. Creating gathering places for the volunteers to focus.
