Wishes Granted

Each year, we choose a local facility and surprise the residents with Valentine’s gift bags delivered by our amazing young volunteers. 

Joan's wish was to go to the beautiful Shea's Theatre and see the production of Beauty and the Beast.

Gloria has always wanted to learn how to play the piano.

Maxine has been a lifelong SUPERFAN of the Buffalo Sabres.  Her wish was to have a meet and greet with Coach Lindy Ruff.  

We had the pleasure of granting a heartfelt wish for Linda, a resident of a care facility, who longed to go fishing on a boat once more. 

We helped Jean celebrate her 97th birthday by granting her wish to go to the zoo! 

Elizabeth has always been a big Frankie Avalon fan.  When she heard he was coming to Tonawanda, she wanted to go so badly.  

Cynthia always wanted to learn how to ride a horse, one of her favorite animals.  Senior Wishes granted her wish with a series of riding lessons.

Harold turned 100 in June, 2024 and became the first member of our Century Club!

Kaye had a birthday coming up and a very caring staff member at Elderwood Assisted Living in Hamburg was able to find out that more than anything, she wanted to visit the Zoo.

That's where Senior Wishes got involved!

Don had one wish......he hadn't sat on a FARMALL Tractor since he was 9 years old, when he used to help his neighbor. His wish was to sit on this tractor again.

Peggy's wish was to be able to ride a horse one more time. She expressed her wish to the listening ears of Jim, staff member at Elderwood Assisted Living in Hamburg. 

Our 400th Wish was granted in August, 2022, to Daniel, who was nominated by staff at Elderwood at Cheektowaga. On a beautiful August day, a few family members joined Daniel as he fulfilled his dream to go fishing on Lake Erie once again.

Years ago, Rae and her husband would attend the Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra Holiday Show together.  Since his death, she had been unable to go.  

We recently helped Gertrude celebrate her 100th Birthday!

Mr. W. is in a care facility in Williamsville. We had visited him a few weeks ago to bring him some much needed clothing and personal care items, and at that time we learned of his love of chess.

Cheryle, a life-long Yankees fan couldn't belive her beloved team was going to be playing right here in Buffalo!  She wrote to us saying she'd LOVE the opportunity to see them play "one more time." 

Josephine celebrated her 100th birthday enjoying dinner with a few family members at the Como Restaurant in Niagara Falls. This was always a favorite place for her to take her children.

Beverly's eyesight is very poor and she can no longer read her beloved books.  Her wish was to have a cd player and some books on cd so that she could hear her favorite authors once again.  We were thrilled to bring her this new cd player and basket of books on cd's.  She was so excited that she would be able to press play and enjoy a book again.

Khalimah loves to read and do crafts.  She was particularly interested in trying needlepoint.  We were happy to drop off this basket filled with books, needpoint kits and other items to help her stay busy while she is staying at home.
