“Working with Wish of a Lifetime has given me a greater purpose when connecting with the elderly, who I believe are all part of the greatest generation. It is a blessing and honor to witness the pure joy in the eyes of a wish recipient who is so deserving of having a wish granted.”

— Christy, Pasadena, CA

“I have nominated many older adults who have had life-changing experiences when their wishes were granted. I love helping a candidate through the application and vetting process, hearing stories, and seeing smiles and tears of joy during a wish.”

— Barb, Greenwood Village, CO
