Our Mission Statement

Impacting the lives of seniors one wish at a time.

 

What inspired us to create Silver Wishes?

Each day as a person wakes up, they have a purpose. As people age, their social circles get smaller. They become more isolated. Physically, their bodies don’t function as well, which can lead to depression and hopelessness. Some start to look forward to the day when they don’t wake up anymore. Silver Wishes believes everyone deserves to have hope.

According to the National Library of Medicine, hope is an essential human need in the elderly. Hope is essential for the adaptation to illness and to transcend the limitations of aging. Hope generates energy that enables individuals to cope with numerous problems and losses, overcome obstacles in life, and continue functioning during chronic illness.

Having a dream to look forward to and to experience, can lift spirits and put a spin on one’s life, turning negatives into positives.
