Norma’s Valentine Project
![]() 2019 was the Inaugural Year for this lovely Project It was a spontaneous idea, born out of a sweet story from a childhood experience. Norma Shearon, the initiator (if not instigator) of Norma’s Valentine Project, had wanted to continue with a tradition that was started by her Mom. Her mother would take Norma to go see people in nursing homes and bring home made Valentine cards to make them feel special. Mostly, they wanted to search out those who had little contact with family or were alone altogether. So her idea of bringing love into the lonely rooms of the elderly and infirm was brought to life. That was on January 31, 2019, with only two weeks to plan, organize and get everything ready. It was a no-brainer to ask social media friends for help, and it didn’t take long for people to respond. © by Love & Peace Project ![]() © by Love & Peace Project Morgan Root was first to respond with a stack of hand written cards. And they were so much appreciated by all who received them. © by Love & Peace Project ![]() © by Love & Peace Project But we could always use more. If you wish to mail us Valentines, you may participate during any time of the year, as often as you like. For each batch you’re sending to us or distribute yourself, you get awarded KR Points. © by Love & Peace Project ![]() © by Love & Peace Project The loving family of Sandra Dominguez was one of the first to participate as well. And how wonderful of an idea it was, to include the Teddy bears and light-up roses. © by Love & Peace Project ![]() © by Love & Peace Project Only after we encountered a blind man, did we realize how precious such a Teddy bear would be. Since he couldn’t read the card, he was able to feel the soft plush and enjoy that sensory experience. © by Love & Peace Project

If you wish to distribute your Valentines yourself, you must respect residents’ privacy. Do not take pictures where the patients/residents are visible and recognizable. Follow the staff’s rules at all times. COVID-19 ALTERNATIVE ENTRY: Do not attempt to deliver cards directly to nursing home residents. Call the facility manager ahead of time and ask about their COVID policies, then leave the cards with the manager or front desk for staff to distribute them. If you’re not sure, mail us your goodies and we’ll see to it that people get your message of love. No time limit – do this year round to earn KR points! Make your Valentines ahead of time, as many as you wish – there are no limits. We’ll store the cards as soon as we receive them, and keep them safe until it’s time for the next Valentine’s Day distribution. Don’t forget to take a picture to qualify for the KR Points. Use the LINK IN PINK below to upload. You’ll earn 100 KR Points per any different day and you make your community better.
