We are a youth-led organization that fulfills small wishes to nursing home seniors across America.

Imagine having just $40 a month to buy everything your nursing home doesn’t provide.
Your favorite snacks, comfortable shoes, a haircut, “good” shampoo, makeup, PJs, or even a good book.
What would YOU go without?
After eight years of serving seniors in long-term care, we’ve seen what happens when that small personal needs allowance runs out.
This isn’t a nursing home problem.
It’s a gap in how America cares for its elders. Families are often expected to make up the difference, but many are struggling to make ends meet themselves.
That’s why we created Wish Wheels!
We know what seniors need and what they love, so we stock our FREE mobile store with everything from hook-and-loop shoes that fit and delicious diabetic-friendly treats to quality toiletries, makeup, bestselling books, DVDs, puzzles, art supplies and music.

And the best part? Residents get to SHOP, choose what they want and never worry about the price.
Thanks to a generous $3600 grant from the Arkansas Community Foundation, we’re bringing this shopping experience to more nursing home residents in Washington County! Yay.
Our elders spent a lifetime taking care of others. Now it’s our turn.
Thank you, Arkansas Community Foundation, for helping us fill a gap that too many people don’t even know exists.

You can’t put THIS in a gift bag.
This nursing home senior’s face says it all.
She is a retired school teacher.
She had no idea our school field trip kids were coming to her facility.
Here they are standing at her door & it brought her to tears. Happy tears. Grateful tears.
We spend A LOT of time fulfilling wishes, but some of what seniors miss most can’t be bought.
Children. Conversation. Feeling remembered. Being seen.
Did you know that our charity hosts about 50 kids a week and this may be the biggest lesson they learn:
sometimes JUST SHOWING UP can change someone’s whole day.
And the kids get to walk away knowing, “I did that.”
Thank you to our school partners- Arkansas Children’s University, Arkansas Executive Prep Academy and our Harrison based homeschool group.
Thank you to many individual donors whose contributions make these amazing moments possible.

Roll & Shine ladies…we love you

Imagine a world where everything always comes to you.
Your doctor comes to you.
Your nurse comes to you.
Your family comes to you.
Meals come to you.
Activities come to you.
Three Wishes comes to you.
And then one day, you’re out in the van just to see that world.
Hamburgers cost WHAT?What is 7 Brew?There’s a traffic circle?
Sometimes the WISH is just seeing the world again (and getting a Sonic corn dog + onion rings while you’re at it).
Happy to make that wish come true.

We are a nonprofit organization that fulfills small wishes for seniors in care facilities.

What’s the one thing every nursing home senior wants?
A visitor.
That’s why our charity makes 2 field trips a week to nursing facilities

Sawyer & Delaney hosted a community Boo Bag event and invited local kids to come help.
Little hands. A lot of stickers. And a whole bunch of seniors getting a Halloween surprise.
This is how you teach kindness. You give kids a chance to practice it.

Inside a nursing home, the LITTLE things are the BIG things

WHAT DID YOUR DONATIONS DO THIS WEEK?
We rolled Wish Wheels into a nursing home and gave away about $500 worth of clothes.
We took TWO groups of local students on field trips to visit seniors in two different nursing homes.
We made calendars with kids and gave them to seniors in the nursing home.
We delivered 70 slushes to seniors.
We delivered birthday gifts.
Our friend Kylene hosted her 4th annual fundraiser in Flushing, NY.
We played “whack-a-mole” with seniors in assisted living.
We hosted a painting party with seniors.
We are having a community wide kids event at the youth center today.
We filled the little wishes that don’t sound like much until you’re the person who needs them.
A $60 unusual size bra for a lady who needed one.
A Dr Pepper for a lady who had run out.
We’re working on shoes for a lady wearing socks because her feet are too swollen for the shoes she has.
And in between all of that, we worked on Community Spotlight stories to bring in sponsorships to help PAY for the next round of wishes.
That’s one week at the Three Wishes Community Center.
We work REALLY HARD for every dollar you give us.
And then we turn around and give it right back to seniors who need it.
Thank you.

Give a kid a $3 pack of sticky notes and take her to a nursing home.
Tell her to write something kind and stick one on every door.
They’ll still be there weeks later.
Look at his face.
Kindness doesn’t have to cost much.

Kylene is only in 6th grade, but this is already her FOURTH year hosting a fundraiser for Three Wishes.
She spends months making these little creations by hand, then sells them to help nursing home seniors.
Tomorrow she’ll be at Carvel in Flushing, NY from 5–8 PM.
Four years of showing up for people she’s never even met. That’s a pretty great kid.
