About the Author

Kimberly Chang is a passionate advocate for seniors and a champion for intergenerational connection. Inspired by her grandfather, who suffered a stroke during her childhood, Kimberly witnessed firsthand the challenges and frustrations he faced due to medical setbacks.

Driven by her desire to create meaningful change, Kimberly conducted extensive research on geriatric care and went on to develop Bloom, an innovative app designed to enhance seniors' lifestyles and foster connection. She believes seniors are often overlooked and deserves more support, care, and respect.

With Grandpa, My Hero, Kimberly hopes to inspire readers of all ages to recognize the value of their elders and to foster a deeper understanding of the joys and struggles of aging. Her heartfelt storytelling shines a light on the resilience of the human spirit and the importance of caring for those who came before us. Through this book, she aims to raise awareness about the need for compassionate geriatric care and to spark meaningful conversations about love, family, and the enduring strength of intergenerational bonds.
