Dear resident, I don't know you, but I wanted to write you this letter. I hope you're well and having a good day. At school we talked about solidarity and I thought of you. I know that many elderly people live alone and need company. I'd like to tell you a little about myself. I'm fifteen years old and I like to listen to music. In my family we celebrate Christmas with a big dinner. I hope you have a wonderful holiday season. Sending you a big hug from my heart.

Getting that for you now...
