Meet Abigail Lupi, a young changemaker who is helping combat loneliness among nursing home residents. When Abigail was just 10 years old, a visit to her grandmother in a nursing home opened her eyes to how many older adults struggle with feeling alone and overlooked.
Inspired to help, Abigail founded CareGirlz, an organization that connects nursing home residents in New Jersey with young volunteers. Through visits, conversations, and shared activities, CareGirlz helps residents feel valued, cared for, and connected. As Abigail shared in an interview with The Inspire a Kid Podcast, “I like to brighten up people’s days and help them have a fun time. If I do my best, they’ll have a smile on their faces by the end.”
Abigail’s work shows how simple acts of kindness can have a meaningful impact. By choosing empathy and action, she reminds us that young people can change the world by reaching out to others and making them feel seen.
