Denise is a longtime Minnesota resident who enjoys card games, audiobooks, and spending time with her cat. After experiencing a stroke last year, she now lives with left-side paralysis. She feels isolated and lonely due to the stroke. A former card-making hobbyist, she continues to find joy in creative and social activities that she is able to participate in like collecting stamps. She is married with three adult children and would benefit from more outside companionship to support her social engagement and well-being.
