Elvira's Wish with Wish of a Lifetime
October 28, 2019

"For as long as she can remember, Elvira has wished to see the storied Statue of Liberty and explore the rich history of the immigrant experience at Ellis Island. Not only has she dreamed of making this once-in-a-lifetime pilgrimage to honor her ancestry and her parents’ legacy, but she also desperately wanted to take a much-needed and well-deserved trip with her first-born child and only daughter Rachel—something they have never been able to do together. ...
..What an honor and privilege it was for Wish of a Lifetime, with the help of our partners at Frontier Airlines, to grant Elvira’s wish to travel to NYC with her daughter Rachel. For many of our wish recipients, travel is a key component to fulfilling long-awaited dreams and one that often seems hopelessly—and fiscally—out of reach."
- Wish of a Lifetime

“When I see all these people, all different nationalities, I feel like the Statue of Liberty says, ‘We are all one,’ and I was in awe…We’re more alike than I had thought.”
- Elvira Gomes

Spending the day with Elvira and her daughter was heartwarming, inspiring, and educational. I'm so grateful to have been a part of one of her last epic journeys in life. 💜 Thank you to Wish of a Lifetime for providing these unforgettable experiences and enriching the lives of so many incredible seniors!
