November 29, 2022/in Open Wishes/by twilightwish

Kathleen enjoys spending time writing books especially romance novels. Unfortunately, her Selectric typewriter is very old and does not work properly. She wishes for a new laptop (with processing program) and printer but cannot afford to buy one on her own. Kathleen currently lives on a fixed income. When she was younger, she volunteered at mental health meetings to help facilitate them. She also fought for her son to get proper help for his mental health and his special school. We need to raise $675 to make her wish come true!

Wadsworth Glen, Middletown, CT

November 28, 2022/in Fulfilled Wishes/by Mary Farrell

Two residents of Wadsworth Glen in Middleton, Connecticut, had their wish to go to lunch and see a performance of “Christmas in Connecticut” granted, thanks to the Central Connecticut chapter of national nonprofit Twilight Wish Foundation. The residents and their aides were picked up from their nursing home in style in a stretch black limo from Liberty Limousine and taken to lunch at the Gelston House in East Haddam. After lunch, they walked across the street to the Goodspeed Opera House where they enjoyed a performance of the classic “Christmas in Connecticut.” These residents are being thanked for being so helpful at their facility with visitations and community activities.

Elaine Kempher, 79, a resident of Greensburg, Pennsylvania, recently had her wish for a lift chair granted. Kempher had been on hospice and was provided a reclining lift chair as a benefit of that program. Happily, she no longer needs hospice care, but the former hospice provider took the chair back. Kempher spends most of her time in the recliner, even sleeps in it, so she needed it replaced quickly. Thank you to Blackburn’s for discounting the cost of the chair for her.

Charles “Chip” Huffman, a resident of Feasterville-Trevose, Pennsylvania, had his wish to have an accessibility ramp installed granted, thanks to a collaboration with Fox Rehabilitation and Amramp. Huffman, a Navy veteran, has multiple medical issues and has lost strength in his arms and legs due to nerve damage. He also recently fell and broke his ankle making walking extremely difficult, despite his hard work at trying to improve his mobility and independence. In addition, his wife, Lois, has her own medical issues including a recent hip fracture and surgery. Huffman, 76, relies on a wheelchair to get in and out of his home and having an accessibility ramp will improve his quality of life. Thanks to a generous donor, his wish was granted on Monday, November 14th. Thanks also to Amramp for discounting the cost of the ramp installation.

Dorothy Brooks, a resident of Saxonburg, Pennsylvania, had her wish for a reclining lift chair granted, thanks to our Butler County chapter. Brooks, 92, had an old recliner that was over 20 years old that no longer reclined. Because she has coronary heart disease, her legs have a tendency to swell so keeping them elevated is very important. Brooks was a very active member of the Saxonburg Women’s Club and still volunteers at the local library during book sales. Having her wish granted will improve her quality of life.
