Forever Young Senior Wish Organization
Our mission is to honor senior citizens by helping them fulfill their dreams and to give them hope for the future.
Forever Young's primary purpose is to reach out to nursing home residents, assisted living facilities, hospice programs, home-bound individuals, and adult day care facilities - regardless of age - to help make their dreams come true.
Forever Young's secondary purpose is to honor requests from our elders, (generally 65 years and over) regardless of where they live, providing they (or a friend/family member)are willing to help make their wishes come true.
Cruise for WWII Veteran Couple
Bob and Betty Brenner met at a dance in WWII. "I could see her blue eyes across the room and I knew she was the girl for me." Bob told his buddies," I am going marry that beautiful, Army nurse," Now 63 years later, Bob, his health declining due to Multiple Sclerosis, had a wish for Forever Young - he wanted one last romantic trip with his wife. The Brenners were given a five day cruise departing from New Orleans. Read the story here.
