Thanks to very generous donor, Dorothy’s wish will soon be granted!

Dorothy has a long history of giving back to her community and church. She volunteered for the Salvation Army for over 20 years. She was also a Sunday school teacher and currently coordinates the prayer chain at her church, greets worshipers and helps with fundraisers and events. She is in need of some dental work, but due to her limited income she cannot afford the extra expense. We need to raise $850 to cover the cost of the dental work Dorothy needs.

Help us bring the joy of music to a local nursing home! These residents love 50s and 60s music and, of course, Jerry Blavat, the “Geator with the Heater!” We would love to grant their wish to have him DJ a sock hop at their facility but need to raise funds to grant this wish! Note: Jerry Blavat is discounting the performance, but we still need to raise funds to make this come true! This fun filled afternoon will surely have the seniors dancing, smiling and reminiscing about the good ‘ole days. We need to raise $1,200 to make this one of kind wish come true. Please donate today!

Tuesdays With Lori Wish Granting Program

October 18, 2018/1 Comment/in Open Wishes /by Michelle Bowren

What is Tuesdays with Lori?

Tuesdays with Lori is a new wish granting legacy program that honors the memory of Lori Radel and her love of Twilight Wish Foundation’s mission. Lori loved granting wishes. She felt that seniors were a treasure and she wanted to give back to them after they had given of themselves throughout their lives.

She planned to retire early and dedicate her life to helping grant wishes to our most under served and oftentimes, forgotten and alone, seniors. Lori fought the effects of an autoimmune disorder for years. Unexpectedly, she passed in 2017, at the much too young age of 55.

Her dream of making a difference at Twilight Wish seemed like it would never happen. After she passed, her family and friends were driven to create this new program in Lori’s memory to grant the wishes of our elders who are at the end of their life’s journey.

Lori’s son, Corey, named the program which was influenced by the book, Tuesdays with Morrie which focuses on the individual and how important it is for all generations to value the lives of our elders and to honor their contributions toward paving the path for all of us.

Lori was heartbroken at the idea of seniors being alone without resources and knew that these simple wishes really changed their lives in tangible ways. The simple act of lunch out or cards sent brought so much joy to people who are often forgotten and ignored. Lori’s mission was to bring value and care to our seniors.

If you are unable to attend this year’s event, but are inspired to be a corporate or individual sponsor of Tuesdays with Lori, you can do so below. All Tuesdays with Lori sponsors will be recognized in print and electronic program materials. We welcome all donation levels.
