Cheer up the Lonely Day

Cheer up the Lonely Day

　There are a lot of people who have lost someone they love or have moved to a new place with no friends. They need help and care from others. Cheer up the Lonely Day¹ is a day when people can share personal concern² and love with lonely people. It takes place on July 11th every year.

　Cheer up the Lonely Day was invented by Francis Pesek. Francis Pesek was a quiet man who had a heart of gold. He got the idea as a way to give kindness to others who were lonely. Francis Pesek understood the feeling of being lonely. So he invented Cheer up the Lonely Day on the day of his birthday.

　Cheer up the Lonely Day is a holiday that is easy to celebrate. All you need to do is to make someone feel loved. If you know people who feel lonely, just help them. If they are near you, you can spend some time with them. If they live far away, send them a letter or give them a call. You can tell them you miss them and care about them. Or you can send them some little gifts, like their favorite candies or flowers.

May everyone not feel lonely anymore!
