83-year-old Mary has one heartfelt wish: to hug her 5-year-old great-granddaughter again. Last year, the little girl and her family moved to Kentucky, leaving Mary heartbroken. Mary helped raise her great-granddaughter when they lived in Massachusetts. Now, she looks forward to seeing her in person and to create new memories together.
Mary has given back to others, including volunteering at a local soup kitchen to help those in need. To make this reunion possible, we need to raise $3,629 to cover airfare for Mary and her travel companion, along with hotel accommodations for a 5-day stay.
Every contribution, no matter the size, brings Mary one step closer to reuniting with her beloved great-granddaughter. If you're able to donate, you'll be helping create precious memories that will last a lifetime!

Ivan, 87, has difficulty standing from a seated position so having a lift chair will make his life a bit easier and safer and allow him to remain independent. Ivan is very deserving as he has volunteered as a tutor and at the Rainbow Kitchen for many years. To help us grant more wishes like Ivan's, visit our website today: www.twilightwish.org/donate

Darrel has always been someone who serves others. In his younger years, he was a volunteer firefighter with the local department. Even now, when he’s feeling up to it, he continues to lend a hand to elderly neighbors—leaf blowing for them, helping with groceries, and offering support however he can.
Darrel’s Twilight Wish is to get a restful night sleep that he desperately needs as he navigates ongoing health challenges. Lately, he has been dealing with significant discomfort that makes it difficult for him to sleep through the night. After discussing what might help, he realized that having twin beds would ease his pain and greatly improve his comfort. Twin beds would also allow his wife to sleep in the same room with him, giving them both peace of mind and allowing them to be close during this difficult time.
To make this happen, we’re need to raise $2120.00.
