Top Stories – Twilight Wish Foundation

Samuel Taylor, a resident of Braddock, Pennsylvania, recently had his wish for a new queen size mattress granted, thanks to our Allegheny County chapter. Taylor, 80, is battling prostate cancer and recently had heart surgery. Because he lives on a fixed income, he could not afford this mattress which will greatly improve his quality of life. Samuel was a pastor and also ran a food bank and a shelter for the homeless and addicts. He was thrilled to have this wish granted.

Agnese Fraioli, a resident of Ocala, Florida, had her wish to have an Italian dinner with her family and friends at her favorite restaurant, Milano Italian Grille granted. Fraioli, 90, lives with her son, Bernardo, who is her caregiver. Her original wish was to travel to see family over the holidays, but she was recently diagnosed with a serious medical condition and can no longer travel. Instead, she was treated to dinner with friends and family at her favorite Italian restaurant. In addition, she and her son were transported in style in a stretch limo to and from the dinner. Thank you to Milano Italian Grille for generously donating the meals for this special wish. Thank you also to Walmart store #5326 for donating a sheet cake to celebrate Fraioli’s wish being granted.

The residents of Nazareth Home in Louisville had their wish for iPads granted, thanks to our newly-formed chapter in Louisville, Kentucky. Although some residents do have their own tablets, many others do not and wish to use one. Seniors benefit from the use of iPads for battling loneliness and isolation and staying connected with family and friends. This fall, Bellarmine University students will be using them to teach and interact with residents at Nazareth Home. This wish was funded thanks to a grant from ScanSource.
