Naomi Yamada for J-Sei

Hello there Friends & Family:  Last year I quoted my mother-in-law, Sachi, who said: “don’t get old kiddo!”  Sachi passed away last year at the age of 100 years + 5 months.  Before though she died she told us not to be sad when she passed because she had lived her BEST LIFE.  She lived that BEST LIFE by eating well (lots of chocolate); hanging out with friends and family and keeping her mind active.  

J-Sei, a non-profit, allows East Bay Area Asian American/Pacific Islander (AAPI) senior citizens to live their BEST LIVES.  They eat chef-prepared meals (nutrition program); hang out with friends through the friendly visitor program and keep their minds active through fun classes (singing, painting, Tai Chi, to name a few).  

But for the resources that J-Sei provides for the families of seniors, many would not know where to turn for help with their elder loved ones.  Caregiving for our senior family members is challenging, but J-Sei’s services, such as helping secure in-home caregivers, go a long way in relieving some of the stress.   We don’t really think about these things until we are in need, but fortunately for us, J-Sei’s staff and volunteers think about how to help seniors and their families every day.  

In tribute to Sachi's BEST LIFE, I am coming to you seeking a donation for J-Sei – a nonprofit.  PLEASE HELP J-SEI CONTINUE TO SUPPORT THE BEST LIVES OF THE SENIORS IT SERVES BY MAKING A DONATION OF ANY AMOUNT.  THANK YOU AND ALSO HAPPY ASIAN AMERICAN HERITAGE MONTH!  ❤️ Naomi
