Intergenerational crafting: Giving Artfully Kids, Belmont Village helping kids, seniors team up
As Viviana De La Rosa, 10, crafted alongside residents at a Belmont Village workshop hosted by Giving Artfully kids, connections formed naturally.
Viviana’s cat sweater sparked a discussion about a resident’s cats. A resident and Viviana learned they both had participated in Girl Scouts.
Sitinee Sheffert said she discovered her own love of crafting when her children were young, and she wanted to share that love with other organizations who served those in need.

Belmont Village Burbank resident with ALS welcomes adrenaline rush from 100-mph laps around racetrack
Michael Long was diagnosed with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, also known as ALS or Lou Gehrig’s disease, in 2015 and has since lost the ability to take part in activities he loved doing.
