The Gift of Connection & Independent Self-Care

For thousands of seniors, it means lost connections. Little by little their world becomes more isolated, as a spouse passes, friends move, mobility lessens, or as Glenda’s case, when her favorite Pastor retired. With each lost connection, the world for a senior becomes a little more alone. Every day!

Our Connection:

Tom McMullen, Creator of ClipDifferent, is a senior himself at 81 years strong. He was born and raised in Minnesota and has lived here his entire life. He and his late wife and three children lived in Bloomington and Eden Prairie. Tom’s current wife, Pat, is very involved doing one-to-one visits with seniors who have physical and mental health issues. Tom met Carolyn, Gifts for Seniors Director, six years ago and was inspired by her dedication to helping seniors. Carolyn was inspired to join Gifts for Seniors after being a caregiver for her grandmother, Glenda.
