Elderly Care and Senior Living Support Services
About Us
SeniorBuddies.org is a non-profit organization
that brings together our
our young special needs community
and their mentors.
This "buddy program" is a very natural pairing of sometimes lonely seniors with the
genuine joy and happiness that
enjoys sharing with others; and their mentors.
This youth group is
always longing for friends and purpose.
Our program provides both the friends and purpose they seek,among their mentor peers and the elderly seniors that they spend quality time helping.
JC………Just Cares!
J.C. (James Cantwell Pujals) was born on June 12, 1999.
He was our second son who we were so grateful to welcome and embrace because my wife was an only child and
she hoped desperately that Peter (our first) would not have to endure life’s burdens all alone like she did.
James was nicknamed JC from the start as a gesture honoring her father who also nicknamed my wife,
with initials; she is CC (Catherine Cantwell).
It’s a good thing that it worked out that way because JC turned out to have Down Syndrome
and he is now able (20+ years later) to spell and sign his name!
We’re not sure why, but his signature is “JC-7”….go figure!
Well, he also cheers for both the Packers and the Bears as his favorite teams….go figure!
Instead of someone who Peter (our oldest)
could share life’s burdens with,
he now had another major burden to care for in his future
…..at least, so we thought.
A few years later, we were blessed with our third son William, who completed our family and played a major role in SeniorBuddies.org!
And then, while observing the three of them grow up
we eventually realized that
JC would provide more value and support for his brothers
than the "burden" that we initially thought
we had saddled them with...
He has also been our “buddy” (or we, his) for years!
JC’s value to our family has been so great, so inspiring that we have wanted to
share it in some form with others.
JC…..he Just Cares!
So…....this has been a very long journey that provided the backdrop for SeniorBuddies.org!
