Ep 13 - Behind Every Gift: A Daughter, a Neighbor, and a Heart for Seniors with Angelica Olea

Juan Gallo Season 1 Episode 13

In this heartwarming and eye-opening episode of Heart2Heart Senior Radio, host Juan Gallo sits down with Angelica Olea, a proud monthly donor and Champion for Seniors, to share her remarkable journey—from her early days working at airports in Lima, Peru, to becoming a powerful advocate for seniors in South Florida.

Angelica reflects on the deeply personal choice to leave behind a beloved career to raise her daughters, including Daniela Olea, now the Director of Community Relations at Heart2Heart. For over 21 years, Angelica has worked with Consolidated Credit Solutions, where she’s seen firsthand the financial hardships that thousands of seniors face every day.

Together, Juan and Angelica explore: ✅ Why many seniors are drowning in credit card debt just to survive
 ✅ Heartbreaking stories of older adults choosing between food and paying their bills
 ✅ The power of small monthly donations to create life-changing impact
 ✅ How community awareness and personal connection can prevent tragedies of isolation
 ✅ Cultural perspectives on elder care in Peru vs. the U.S., including how Alzheimer's shaped Angelica’s own family’s decisions

Angelica also shares an emotional and urgent story of a neighboring senior who nearly died alone, reinforcing the critical need for community vigilance, connection, and emergency tools like fall alert systems.

Above all, this episode highlights the true meaning of being a “Champion for Seniors”—not through grand gestures, but through consistent, compassionate support that allows Heart2Heart to step in when seniors need it most.
