Jane S., 73, Philadelphia, PA
/0 Comments/in Fulfilled Wishes /by Michelle BowrenJane used to love volunteering at the food pantry run by her church. She also loved tutoring students at Girard College. She has stopped doing both because her hearing has deteriorated to the point she can’t understand what people are saying. She misses her great-grandson’s voice, the sound of the birds chirping and listening to music. She says without the ability hear, the world is a lonely place. Please help us grant this wish to help Jane regain her hearing!

Century Plaza Senior Apartments, Washington, PA
/0 Comments/in Fulfilled Wishes /by Michelle BowrenMany of the senior residents at Century Plaza have hearing and vision impairments. At their meetings and social events, these residents are hesitant to attend because they cannot hear or see what is going on. Their Service Coordinator wishes for a large pull-down screen, a projector and a cordless microphone to enhance these activities so they are accessible to all. They would love to have “socially distant” movie nights and other entertainment.
