It all started with a simple request
I put out a request for sponsorships to send some love and joy through the Adopt A Grandparent movement.
I had a personal goal, that I kept to myself, I wanted to TRY to get 200 residents sponsored. This was a HUGE goal for a newly formed LLC 3 months prior, who also had a very small following!!

And boy did you, the community, step up!!
You saw the need, and understood the isolation and loneliness our seniors living in facilities were feeling due to covid social distancing procedures. You shared the posts and smile -o meters! We kept fulfilling each facility and then excitedly moved to adopt the next!
The facilities shared pictures that were simply beautiful!!
I loved sharing the pictures and videos on Balloon Hype's Instagram and Facebook. Joy and smiles were shared with residents and staff members.

You shared a smile
My quiet goal of 200 was reached and exceeded!!
We sponsored 290 residents from 9 facilities within 6 weeks!!!
And so, once again a huge thank you!
Your generous acts of kindness whether through sponsorship, sharing posts, words of encouragement and support, made a big impact on our seniors and the staff that takes care of them. I know they feel the love and thoughts you have shared. Thank you.
With sincere gratitude, humility, and love.
