A care home in Boroughbridge is appealing for help to make a resident’s birthday extra special this month.
Marjorie, who lives at Boroughbridge Manor on Roecliffe Lane, will turn 103 on November 23.
Its staff are asking for people from far and wide to send birthday cards for her, with an ambitious target in mind.
Posting on social media, the home said:
“We are trying to obtain at least 103 cards.
“We are calling upon our local community, families, visitors and people far and wide to help celebrate this amazing milestone.”
The care home, owned by Barchester, first put out the call for cards in August – having previously found cards would still be arriving long after a birthday if they appealed nearer the time.
Staff this week said they had received almost 70 cards to date and were hopeful of reaching their milestone by the time of Marjorie’s birthday.
Cards can be sent to: Activities Team, Boroughbridge Manor Care Home, Roecliffe Lane, Boroughbridge, YO51 9LW.
