Today Hailey and her friend delivered the puzzles donated by the Puzzle Warehouse, the "World's Largest Jigsaw Store," to Castle Senior living in Queens, New York.


Tomorrow, they will return to the facility and do the puzzles together with the residents there.  What a wonderful thing to do on this day of public service!

Puzzles Warehouse Donates Puzzles for Those with Dementia

Puzzles to Remember

Hailey and I would like to thank the Puzzles Warehouse very much for the large box of puzzles that was delivered to us yesterday.

The puzzles are perfect for individuals with Alzheimer’s disease. Hailey will be bringing 4 or more friends to memory care facilities, nursing homes, and assisted living facilities. They will spend time solving the puzzles, and then give them to the facility to keep and reuse with their residents.




Your kindness and generosity will help to brighten the lives of people who are living daily with dementia.  Here is a photo of Hailey and her friend opening up the box with delight!
