ABOUT US
FOUNDERKIERAN WALLACHHi, my name is Kieran. A few years ago I did some volunteer work at a local assisted living center. I sat with a bunch of the older folks (I was only 14) for a couple of hours. I played the guitar and sang for them, then they asked me how I learned to sing and play and a ton of other questions. I was surprised by how interested they were in what my life was like. I was also surprised at how much fun it was to hang out and speak with them and share stories about being a kid in this century. I had so much fun that I went back to visit several more times. During the pandemic I thought about that time, and I thought about all the people at these homes who were already limited in what they could do even before Covid-19, and I could just imagine the isolation during this really tough time. While watching my mom on one of her work Zoom calls it suddenly hit me that it would be so great if senior citizens at these homes could get virtual visits from kids anywhere, and if they could pick out what they wanted to see or do or talk about - I have so many friends who have different skills and interests. That's how I got the idea for SENIORS AND SENIORS! I hope that by connecting kids and senior citizens we can bring people together in positive and fun way. I see it as the ultimate "win-win situation" and I hope that we can grow this site to connect as many people as possible
