Twilight Wish Foundation
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Twilight Wish Foundation is an American 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization granting wishes to low-income senior citizens and older adults living at nursing facilities.[1] The organization was founded in 2003 and since then has focused on improving quality of life for seniors through both practical assistance and experiences.[2]
The Twilight Wish Foundation was founded in 2003 by Cass Forkin in Bucks County, Pennsylvania.[3] It is reported that the founder began the organization after assisting elderly women who struggled to pay for a meal.[4] At the time of its founding, few national nonprofits focused specifically on wish-granting for seniors, especially low-income seniors. The organization expanded from a volunteer-run effort into a nonprofit with chapters operating in multiple U.S. states.[5]
