Today I learned of an Indianapolis-based volunteer organization with a mission “to make the dreams of elderly and terminally ill adults come true.” How cool is that?
Never Too Late has helped an 88-year old man race around the Indy 500 track, an 83-year old woman go sailing, and a 70-year old man learn to read, among the 1825 wishes granted to date.
This is making me smile today. What a lovely program.
Di, I got so jazzed up upon reading their website, which has great photos and stories of the wishes granted. I hope more organizations like this spring up around the country and around the world.
Wow, I just checked out their website, what great stories. I bet there are many, many residents in nursing homes with wishes and dreams that could be realized with just small effort. I am going to make this my new project! Thanks for the inspiration.
