✨ One Wish Granted ✨

Thanks to the generosity of our amazing community, one wish from our older adults’ Wishlist has already been granted 💙 We are headed to deliver to our older adult today 😀

Moments like these remind us how powerful kindness can be—turning simple wishes into meaningful joy.

Thank you to everyone who helps make our older adults feel seen, valued, and cared for. More wishes are waiting, and every act of generosity makes a difference.

Please help our Kindness project to spread more kindness. https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/22YIWOY48GVXR?leftNavSection=Shopping&ref_=abls_lnv_sl&source=leftnav

Thank you Wisconsin DHS for reminding us all about this important resource this Holiday Season. You’re not alone—and help is just a call away. 💛

You’re not alone—and help is just a call away. 💛

Many older adults experience isolation, grief, or overwhelming stress. Support is available.

☎️ Vital Voices’ Telephone Reassurance Program also provides friendly, scheduled check-in calls to help older adults feel connected, safe, and supported from home.

If you’re an older adult feeling isolated—or know someone who might be—please share this post. Connection saves lives.

On this Giving Tuesday, we’re reminded of the incredible impact a generous community can make. Many of the items on our Amazon Wishlist support the daily needs of the older we serve—items that bring comfort, dignity, and hope.
If you’re able, please consider choosing something from our Wishlist: https://a.co/9NKL1R2
Every package that arrives is more than a delivery—it's a reminder that someone cares. Thank you for helping us make a difference. 💛 If you are unable to donate via our Amazon Wishlist you can still help by donating directly to our website at https://vital-voices.org/donate/
