Clara Robertson, who is days away from turning 100, wants lots of presents this year for her birthday. In fact, she wants 100 of them.
Clara Robertson, a former Chicago Heights resident, visits recently with her dog, Sasha, at Porter Place in Tinley Park. To mark her upcoming 100th birthday, the residence is collecting items for dogs and cats for two local animal shelters through Jan. 21.
"Absolute sweetheart" Clara Robertson, formerly of Chicago Heights and now of Tinley Park, will be celebrating her 100th birthday in a few days. “Her face just lights up whenever she gets to see Sasha,” said Jennifer Boonstra, life engagement director at Porter Place. “They are adorable.”Very soft-spoken, she doesn’t like the attention to be on her,” Boonstra said. “She’s just very modest and caring, and she’s an absolute sweetheart. We love having her here.”But the 99-year-old’s desire to stay out of the limelight posed a challenge for her family and Boonstra when it came to planning this birthday party.
Donations for animal shelters already have been coming in to Porter Place in Tinley Park as part of the 100th birthday celebration for resident Clara Robertson, who is hoping to collect 100 items for the drive. They are pretty hopeful about reaching the goal of 100 donated items, one for every year of Robertson’s life.
