Making our world a nicer place to age, one Twilight Wish at a time!
关于我们
Twilight Wish Foundation is a national nonprofit that grants the wishes of low-income elderly across the U.S. Our mission is to honor and enrich the lives of deserving seniors through wish granting celebrations that connect generations. Our vision is to make the world a nicer place to age, one wish at a time. Since our founding in 2003, we have granted the wishes of over 6,200 senior citizens. Twilight Wish was founded in Doylestown, PA in 2003 by Cass Forkin after her chance encounter with several elderly women in a diner. After noticing them counting their change to pay their bill, Forkin anonymously paid their bill. Their gratitude for her simple gesture inspired Forkin to found Twilight Wish, the first national wish granting organization focused on the needs of the elderly. Twilight Wish fulfills wish requests for deserving seniors who are 65 and older or a permanent resident of a nursing facility. Wish recipents must also have a history of giving back to their community and an annual income of less than 200% of poverty level. Wishes granted range from simple basic needs wishes such as eyeglasses or a lift chair to more elaborate lifelong wishes such as meeting a favorite baseball player or a ride in a fighter jet. Sometimes a wish fulfills an immediate need and sometimes it is a last wish. Large or small, all wishes provide a meaningful "thank you" to the senior for a lifetime of service to others.

We are accepting nominations for our annual Mae Krier Award! Nominate an individual or organization that has demonstrated a "we can do it" attitude that has made our world a nicer place to age! Mae Krier, a 2015 Twilight Wish recipient, is an original Rosie the Riveter and her "can do it attitude" was a major force in winning both a national day of recognition and the 2024 Congressional Medal of Honor for millions of Rosies! https://lnkd.in/eQTJ6_x2

Earlier this year, we asked for assistance in granting the wish of the Bretonaires Band whose members range in age from 72-95 and are all residents of Breton Woods in Grand Rapids, Michigan. They were requesting donations of used sheet music and some instruments for this resident-initiated band program that performs concerts throughout the year. The band continues to grow, and they now have 30 members! The outpouring of offers to send sheet music and purchase instruments was overwhelming to both us and the band members. Thank you to all who reached out and assisted with this very special wish!
