Senior Wishes was thrilled to see the joy on Sue's face while she enjoyed her first visit to the Buffalo Zoo in 30 years!

To help celebrate America 250, Senior Wishes collaborated with the Buffalo Bisons in a special on-field celebration of the all-female Honor Flight!

We are excited to have granted our 500th wish!  Residents of People Inc.'s Pine Apartments in Lockport are now enjoying a brand-new vegetable and herb garden created especially for their community.

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."
