Show by Brynne Malone
Host Brynne Malone of Aging Solutions introduces Donelle Cross, Pacific Northwest representative for the nonprofit Twilight Wish, which grants wishes and provides support to low-income seniors. Donelle shares her background in social work, geriatrics and caregiving experience. How she discovered Twilight Wish and launched the PNW chapter with grant funding, volunteers, and local fundraising so donated money stays in the community. They discuss the organization’s origin story, eligibility and types of wishes ranging from practical needs like lift chairs, hearing aids, and dentures to end-of-life and bucket-list experiences. They emphasize dignity, combating ageism, and how to volunteer, donate, or apply at twilightwish.org and via Twilight Wish PNW on Instagram.
