Connecting Seniors Through Companionship | Madison News
Description
Jamie Freeland is turning personal grief into powerful community action, stepping into a leadership role for Racine’s Foster Grandparent Program — a 50-year-old initiative that pairs seniors with each other and volunteers to combat loneliness. Inspired by her grandma’s isolation, she’s helping older adults between 70 and 90 find meaningful connection, proving that simple visits can spark profound joy and belonging. What began as a volunteer-driven effort has evolved into a vibrant network where empathy and companionship thrive — all while ensuring no senior feels forgotten.
