Three Wishes for Ruby's Residents

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

One key.

One door.

Thousands of seniors waiting on the other side.

Today, we picked up the keys to our new Springdale office. This amazing space will help us reach more nursing home residents, deliver more wishes and connect more kids with seniors. They need to know they haven’t been forgotten.

Northwest Arkansas, we’re coming. ❤️

Every item on our Amazon Wish List has a face behind it.

That cross necklace? It’s for a new resident named Donna. She’s 72 and has no family.

That Elvis sticker? It’s for Helen who still lights up when she talks about her favorite singer. Her birthday is this month.

The 100% cotton yarn? We have a facility with 5 knitters who really want pure cotton yarn. Quality matters to them but it’s way out of their budget and they use a bunch.

That can of stew? It is for a blessing bag for a senior in independent living choosing between snacks and her cell phone bill.

That bottle of brand name lotion? It’s for a nursing home resident whose skin is paper-thin and super dry. She’s needs the good stuff.

Those snap shelves? It’s for the volunteers who sort thousands of donations.

The bird seed? It’s for the empty feeders outside Mary’s room.

The pocket t-shirt? It’s for Steve. He’s 85.

When people see an Amazon Wish List, they see products.

We see stories.

We see widows, Elvis fans, veterans, former teachers, farmers, nurses, grandparents and the volunteers who show up every week to remind them they still matter.

Thank you to everyone who clicks “Add to Cart.”

You aren’t JUST sending things.

You’re sending a message that someone remembers.

And that’s what Three Wishes has always been about.

Hey y’all it’s Ruby.
Behind this front desk, children learn to serve nursing home seniors.
They’re making cards.
Packing wishes.
Creating art.
Delivering kindness to nursing homes.
They’re learning that aging isn’t something to fear.
It’s something to honor.

Every photo hanging here tells the story of a senior who really mattered.
Every project reminds someone in a nursing home that they have NOT been forgotten.
And every day, kids walk through these doors and learn a lesson that can’t be taught from a textbook:
NURSING HOME SENIORS are worth showing up for.
That’s what Three Wishes has always been about.
Not just the wishes.
People.
Because one day, every one of us will hope someone remembers us too.

In a world where most people overlook seniors, she chose THEM.
Their stories. Their loneliness. Their dignity. Their joy.
Not many people do that. Sometimes I feel like it’s me against the world.
But, 16 year-old Delaney Reddell has served on our kid board for five years.
We are so proud of the way she continues to use her voice for nursing home residents across Arkansas.
The future of senior care needs compassionate leaders like her and we truly believe she has the power to change lives through the Miss Arkansas Teen journey ahead.
Little wishes. Big impact.
Led by youth who have found their calling inside a nursing home that most would avoid.
And young people like her are exactly why we believe the future is bright.

This office space is empty right now.

No snack bags.
No shelves of wishes.
No kids coloring at tables.
No piles of Amazon boxes waiting to go to nursing homes.

But soon?

This little office in Northwest Arkansas will help us serve seniors all across the region with small wishes, comfort items and BIG reminders that they are loved.

If you’ve ever wanted to help build something good from the ground up… this is that moment.

Our Wish List is how we’ll slowly fill these empty floors with kindness.

PURPLE PANTS. 💜
That was the wish.
Not a vacation.
Not something extravagant.
Just something comfortable to wear & in her fave color.

We fulfill small wishes for nursing home seniors because the little things still matter.
Maybe now more than ever.
Little Wishes. BIG Impact.

Maybe the world doesn’t need bigger things?
Maybe it just needs more
moments like this?
Some people think volunteering changes the life of the person being helped.
But if you’ve ever watched a child and a nursing home resident together… you know it changes both of them.
Harper has childhood ahead of her.
The sweet resident has a lifetime behind her.
And somehow they meet right in the middle.
That’s why we do this.

You know what? For a little while, nobody was thinking about medications, loneliness, wheelchairs or getting old.
Some people left smiling & some people will remember it all month.
Let’s do more of this.

05/11/2026

Don’t ever think that they forget they are a Mother.
Thank you for helping us remind them they are never forgotten.
That’s what we do.
And we can’t do it without you. 💜
Happy Mother’s Day
