Memories. We all have them. Even though some details in recalling them may differ within families, that’s ok. The reality is, families are built on years of history, passages of time, connections and experiences that are as individual and unique as they are shared.
Our “Memories” project is an opportunity for seniors to relive and share moments of their past, capturing their personal legacies. With participation of the family, with their request and approval, they can forward to Senior Wish, their photos and special memories with important dates and captions and those memories will be made up in a personalized memory book for them to keep and cherish.
The best part is, due to its popularity, individuals of all ages can document every detail of their incredible journey. Each one will be made into their own unique Memories book. Be a part of this special initiative. fI a family chooses to contact us, we would be happy to accommodate them with preserving their family memories through a partnership with Senior Wish.

Are you a creative and crafty person who loves to make cards but often has more than they know what to do with? You would be a perfect match for our Birthday Card program.
Throughout the year we gather cards to help seniors in the community and long term
care facilities celebrate their birthdays, milestones, and special occasions
To celebrate the dreams, the passions and the cherished memories of our seniors is to respect the stories of their lives.
The simplest of wishes granted has a positive and lasting effect. Imagine reuniting with a long- lost friend, enjoying a game and the attention of a favourite sports hero or revisiting a childhood neighbourhood. In fulfilling their wishes, we are enriched by their journey.
If you know someone who has a special wish please completely our Wish Request form and we’ll review the request.
May you never be too grown up to search the skies on Christmas Eve.
Christmas is a particularly challenging time if you don’t have any loved ones to celebrate with. Do you know we have Seniors who spend Christmas all alone? Do you know there are Seniors in retirement and long term care homes who have never had a visitor, never had a Christmas present or a birthday present? Our Christmas Bags of Love
program starts in September.
If you are interested in supporting or participating in any of the programs listed above please contact us and the appropriate person will get in touch with you.
