Fulfilled Twilight Wishes

Gertrude Teats, a resident of Greensburg, Pennsylvania, had her wish for a new chair for her living room granted, thanks to our Westmoreland County chapter. Teats, 76, was a Navy corpsman who worked in labor and delivery at the Philadelphia Naval Hospital when she was younger. Her current recliner belonged to her son who has since passed away. Although she can’t bear to part with it for sentimental reasons, it is no longer comfortable. Her simple wish was granted on March 2, 2024. 

James Castellari, a resident of Latrobe, Pennsylvania, recently had his wish for a lift chair granted by our Westmoreland County chapter. Castellari, 70, has difficulty getting up from a seated position. Since he lives on a fixed income, he could not afford a lift chair on his own. Having this simple wish granted will greatly improve his quality of life.

Nina Bartolozzi, 67, a resident of Greensburg, Pennsylvania, had her wish for a portable air conditioner granted, thanks to our Westmoreland County chapter. Bartolozzi was a nurse for 45 years and now suffers from COPD. She needs cooler air in order to breathe well, but the air conditioning in her building gets turned off in mid-October. Having this air conditioner will greatly improve her quality of life.
