Wishes Granted
Every wish we grant creates a moment of joy, dignity, and connection. Here are some of the seniors and veterans whose lives have been touched by your generosity.
Juanita — Our Very First Wish
Juanita’s wish was to celebrate her 94th birthday at the Oregon coast with her close family — a place that holds special memories for her. Thanks to the generosity of our donors.
Bob — Back to the Shop
At 88, Bob loves spending time in his shop, fixing things and lending a hand to neighbors. But health and mobility challenges made it dangerous for him to get down the stairs.
LaVette — Crocheting Kindness for Veterans
LaVette has a special mission: to crochet lap blankets for veterans in wheelchairs. For her, every stitch is a way to honor those
Jack — Our First Veteran Wish
When 77-year-old Navy veteran Jack’s refrigerator stopped working, it created a daily challenge that many take for granted. Living on a fixed income, replacing it simply wasn’t in his budget.
Peggy — Staying Connected
Peggy is like a mom and grandma to everyone lucky enough to know her. At 83, she has spent her life working hard to provide for her family as a single mother of three, and never asks for anything in return.
Leola — A Fresh Start
Leola recently moved into a new senior living apartment with very little furniture of her own. She asked for a dresser to help her stay organized and make her new space feel more like home.
Andrew — A Safer Night's Sleep
Andrew lives independently in Tualatin, Oregon, managing daily life with mobility challenges following a below-the-knee amputation. On a limited income, he had learned to make do, but his 12-year-old bed had become unsafe and uncomfortable, often slipping off its frame and causing painful setbacks.
Jennifer - More Than a Fishing Trip
Jennifer’s wish was to spend a day bottom fishing on the Oregon coast.
What made this wish even more special was that her son came from New Orleans to join her. After several years apart, this trip gave them the chance to spend time together again.
Augusta - A Night of Gospel Christmas Joy
Augusta had wanted to attend The Gospel Christmas concert in Portland for years. Since she no longer drives, getting there and covering the cost of tickets made it difficult for her to make the trip on her own.
Barbara - Making a New Place Feel Like Home
Moving into assisted living is a big life change. For Barbara, it meant leaving behind the comforts of home and settling into a new place.
