Senior Nomination Program
Sending Sunshine’s Senior Nomination Program allows anyone to nominate a senior they know to receive cards from us!
Each month our team will review the nominations and choose some to include on our website. Then, anyone from around the world can read about each nominated senior and send a card to one or more of their choice. The cards are sent to the nominator's address, who will collect the cards and deliver them to the senior they nominated!
Scroll below to see how you can gain volunteer hours by participating in this program!

May Letter Requests
Read about each nominated senior and decide which senior(s) you’d like to send a card to. Cards should be sent by May 31st, 2026. We post new seniors who want cards from you at the beginning of each month.
Happy writing!
Lorraine
Language(s): English
A message from Lorraine’s reception and nursing clerk: Lorraine enjoys learning and likes to work on learning activities and puzzles in books and likes to learn about the world/travel and medical information, as she often wants to have written descriptions of meanings. She enjoys colouring to keep busy and regularly waits for the mail, in hopes there is something for her to read! She likes a good joke as well. They like sharing recipes as a way to connect with others socially.

A message from Yvonne’s niece: I am nominating my aunt as she has become widowed in this past year and could use some extra sunshine in her life. She has always been very creative. Sewing projects, making quilts, paper mache, etc. She has always been the caregiver and supportive person to everyone in her life (prior work and family life). Poetry brings her comfort. She loves listening to music and spending time with family and friends.
