WISH STORIES
Granting Wishes Is So Much More Than The Wish Itself
Through granting wishes, WAY’s broader narrative is to highlight each wish story we grant publicly so that we can begin to positively shift how seniors are viewed, valued and supported. 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.
Rodney Stark, 75
70 years ago Rodney saw a helicopter for the first time. He looked at it with so much wonder in his eyes; "a big dragonfly" that he could only dream of seeing up close one day. Not only did Rodney finally see a helicopter for the first time up close, he got to fly in one!
Eric MacDonald, 78
Being a devoted fan of the Toronto Maple Leafs, Eric has always dreamed of attending a game live in their home arena, never thinking he would have the opportunity to do so. Despite being visually impaired, Eric wanted nothing more than to experience being in the stands, listening to the game, and taking in the excitement of the crowd alongside his grandson.
