The economic and emotional impact of such a Holiday cannot be underestimated. Senior and Disabled care centers struggle to afford the barest of essentials. More importantly, the residents of those centers can live out their days lonely and forgotten. The simple act of respect, attention, and compassion can be the greatest gift of all.

Please take just a few seconds to sign the petition now. When it gathers enough signatures, it will be brought before the US House of Representatives.

Petition to the President of the United States and members of the U.S. Congress. We the people call on the U.S. Congress to establish an official federal paid holiday in honor of Compassion for Senior and Disabled Citizens, on the 15th of March. This should include a Compassion Day of service, education and awareness for community involvement, with the complement of offerings by the people of the United States toward Senior and Disabled Citizens. Michael Villalpando, the founder of The Petition for a National Compassion Holiday, has seen firsthand the needs and wants of the Senior and Disabled community. As a Tai Chi instructor, Michael works specifically throughout the state of California to deliver exercise, support, and respect to Retirement and Disabled communities. In his own words: “During my quest in helping humanity, I have noticed that there is a great need for awareness and involvement for these communities, along with educational programs to get our young to be influenced on the realities of life. In addition there is so much we can learn from the Senior and Disabled citizens and if we do not pay attention to these citizens we will somehow keep repeating our mistakes. I have seen that we seem to be searching for riches and fortune when we seem to have forgotten that we have always had it in ourselves. My experience in the act or my passion for compassion was the rewards of complements, hugs and kisses by Disabled Senior individuals who are surely and truly living everyday with struggles of life.” Please join Michael in this noble cause and sign the petition today.
