The First Wish
Our first recipient was Elizabeth McWhorter, Rebecca's mother. Her wish was to "play them one-armed bandits" one more time. Elizabeth was able to spend some of her final days at the Silver Legacy in Reno with her family.
An Elderly Wish Foundation was created in memory of Elizabeth McWhorter, and in honor of all the wonderful elderly who paved the way for each of us.
