A Divine Calling Amidst Grief

The early weeks of 2022 brought a tsunami of loss. My father passed on January 4th, followed by my uncle the very next day. On January 21st, my mother joined them, leaving me adrift in a sea of grief. In those raw moments of pain, our hospice chaplain shared a harsh truth that became my call to action: many adult children, overwhelmed by the demands of caregiving, place their loved ones in facilities and rarely look back.

In that instant, I felt a divine commission. God's voice resonated in my heart, urging me to create a sanctuary for those who are placed in nursing homes, mental health facilities, or simply ignored because their differences seem too challenging to embrace. This wasn't just a fleeting thought - it was a purpose etched into my soul.

Building a Digital Refuge of Hope

Drawing upon my decade-long experience in creating virtual world content, I envisioned a digital refuge accessible via a simple tablet. This wouldn't be just another online platform; it would be a lifeline for the isolated older adults, the homebound, the physically challenged, the neurodivergent, and those battling the demons of depression and social anxiety.

I dreamed of a place where those often placed last by society would finally be first. Thus, the Last First Foundation was born, with our MMOSG platform 'Seniority' at its heart. This isn't just a project; it's a mission to create a safe, sacred space where the forgotten can rediscover belonging, where the isolated can forge meaningful connections, and where everyone, regardless of their challenges, can grow and thrive.

In this digital sanctuary, a homebound elder can stroll through a virtual park, feeling the sun on their face once more. A person with social anxiety can gradually build confidence in a supportive community. Someone battling depression can find purpose by teaching others about their life's passion.

This is more than a platform - it's a promise to those left behind by society. A promise that they are seen, valued, and deeply worthy of connection. With your support, we can turn this vision into reality, creating ripples of hope and belonging that will transform countless lives.

Together, we can build a world where no one feels forgotten or alone. Where being 'different' doesn't mean being isolated. Where the last truly do become first. Join us in this labor of love, and help us create a community where everyone, no matter their circumstances, can truly belong.

Our Goals

Cultivating a Thriving Community

Our vision is to nurture a vibrant digital sanctuary where no one feels alone. By 2026, we aim to welcome and embrace at least 10,000 users into our Seniority family. Each new member represents a life touched, a connection forged, and a step towards a world where isolation is replaced by belonging. As our community grows, so too will the tapestry of shared experiences, support, and friendship that defines us.

Forging Compassionate Alliances

We believe in the power of collaboration to amplify our impact. By 2026, we aspire to join hands with a diverse network of partners who share our vision:

• 5+ care facilities, extending our reach to those who need us most
• 3+ mental health organizations, ensuring we provide expert-guided support
• 7-10 houses of worship across various faiths, embracing spiritual diversity

These partnerships aren't just numbers; they're bridges of hope, connecting Seniority to existing care ecosystems and bringing our digital sanctuary to those who might otherwise remain isolated.

Crafting Our Digital Haven

Our journey to create Seniority is one of continuous innovation and refinement:

• By February 2025, we'll unveil our prototype for testing, a crucial step in ensuring we're truly meeting the needs of our community.
• Come October 2025, we'll launch our beta version, opening the doors to our digital world for the first time.

But this is just the beginning. We're committed to an ongoing dialogue with our users, using their invaluable feedback to shape and enhance Seniority. Our goal isn't just to build a platform; it's to create a living, evolving space that remains accessible, engaging, and truly transformative for all who enter.

Together, we're not just setting goals; we're laying the foundation for a revolution in digital connection and support. Every milestone we reach is a step towards a world where everyone, regardless of their circumstances, can find their place of belonging.

While our progress may be measured, our vision remains boundless. We're not just building a platform; we're crafting a digital sanctuary that will touch countless lives. To bring this vision to life sooner, we're reaching out to kindred spirits who share our passion for making a difference.
