What is National Cheer Up The Lonely Day?

People from around the country make a special effort to give someone a lift on National Cheer Up the Lonely Day each year on July 11th.

#cheerupthelonelyday

With a little more care today, you can be a shining spot in their lives if you know someone who is lonely or going through a difficult time. If they are lonely due to health problems, financial reasons, grief due to loss, or personal reasons, loneliness can be overwhelming. Use this day to remind those people in your life that need a little extra love and care. Your little act of kindness can make a huge difference to them.. At the right time, a single word or special consideration could lighten their world.

We are all lonely from time to time. When we least expect it, the gift of companionship and assistance when we least expect it will not solve our problems, but it does help, a little.
