Lillian M, 95, Phoenixville, PA
/in Archives/by Cheryl GustafsonLillian, a 95-year-old senior from Phoenixville, PA is a big baseball fan. She follows the Phillies, all of the players, and knows who they are playing, trading, or is injured. She keeps up with the bi-monthly Monday morning sports desk program. The Senior Center took a trip to the Reading Phillies last year. Lillian was the ringleader and encouraged others to attend. They have already planned a trip for this year in May, but unfortunately the transportation cost has more than tripled. Lillian’s Twilight Wish is to be able to get the transportation cost covered for her and her peers to be able to attend the game at the beginning of May. When Lillian found out that she had been nominated for a Twilight Wish she got tears in her eyes and was bursting with excitement. We are looking to raise $1420.00 for bus transportation. Please donate today!
