Granting Wishes Changes Lives

Why Wishes?
Wishes connect older adults to people, purpose, and passions to eliminate feelings of isolation and help them live vibrant, purposeful lives. A true Wish of a Lifetime achieved makes other goals seem possible, and encourages our Wish recipients to keep dreaming and pursuing their passions.

Lasting Effects
Helping an older adult achieve a long-held or deeply meaningful dream can have tremendous positive outcomes on their health, purpose, and sense of value. Our Wish Recipients report that they are happier, healthier, and feel more involved in the world after having a Wish granted.

Celebrating Lives
Wishes have a ripple effect on the community, inspiring individuals to start seeing older adults in a new light. One incredible life story at a time, we are changing the perception of aging—not just how we view our oldest citizens, but also how we see and value ourselves as we age.
