Darrel has always been someone who serves others. In his younger years, he was a volunteer firefighter with the local department. Even now, when he’s feeling up to it, he continues to lend a hand to elderly neighbors—leaf blowing for them, helping with groceries, and offering support however he can.

Darrel’s Twilight Wish is to get a restful night sleep that he desperately needs as he navigates ongoing health challenges. Lately, he has been dealing with significant discomfort that makes it difficult for him to sleep through the night. After discussing what might help, he realized that having twin beds would ease his pain and greatly improve his comfort. Twin beds would also allow his wife to sleep in the same room with him, giving them both peace of mind and allowing them to be close during this difficult time.

To make this happen, we’re need to raise $2120.00.

At 83 years old, Mary, has one heartfelt wish: to hold her 5-year-old great-granddaughter in her arms again. For years, Mary played a special role in helping raise her great-granddaughter. But last year, she and her family moved to Kentucky, leaving Mary heartbroken by the distance between them.

Despite her age, Mary remains devoted to her family and wishes to visit her great-granddaughter one more time. She has spent much of her life giving back to others, including volunteering at a local soup kitchen to support people in need. Now, she needs our help.

We are seeking to raise $3,629 to cover airfare for Mary and a travel companion, as well as hotel accommodations for a five-day visit in Kentucky. Please donate and help us make her wish come true!
