Hi, my name is Annaleigh!
My step mom was recently in a rehabilitation nursing home in Shreveport, Louisiana and I have befriended a lady by the name of JoJo is is 97 years old with Creebal palsy. Not sure if she is the current oldest person alive to date but I have been told she is. She dresses herself, goes to the bathroom by herself and feeds herself. She is such an inspiration to me . So much so that all I can do is cry when I am spending time with her. I really wish I could get her recognized for all of the fight she has alive in her. She is truly amazing. She is in [removed by moderator] and rehabilitation facilities on [removed by moderator].
JoJo has no family or friends other than the staff , myself and maybe one other lady that comes maybe every 6 to 12 months . I want to help find JoJo a family
