WISH STORIES
Granting Wishes Is So Much More Than The Wish Itself
Many seniors face loneliness and isolation every day. Through granting wishes, WAY’s broader narrative is to highlight each wish story we grant publicly so that we can begin to shift how seniors are viewed and valued. We encourage you to utilize your network to spread the word, and/or consider sharing one of our inspiring wish stories within your community today.
