About Me

My name is Jessica Joseph

Hi! I’m Jessica, and I’m passionate about making a difference, especially for seniors facing loneliness and isolation.

I founded The Lingua Link Club, helping Ukrainian students improve their English and build connections. I also serve as an ENGin Program Ambassador, advocating for language education and cultural exchange. Additionally, I’ve conducted research on Immune Cell Regeneration and Cancer Therapy.

Through leadership and volunteer work, I’ve learned resilience, empathy, and the power of human connection.

Let’s work together to bring joy and companionship to seniors who need it most!

Our Mission

Why Senior Mental Health Matters?

Loneliness isn't just about feeling sad. It can actually harm a senior’s health. Studies show that social isolation can lead to depression, memory loss, and even serious health problems. Imagine how different their lives would be if someone simply spent time with them, listened to their stories, and made them smile.

That someone could be YOU!
