CONTRIBUTED/CARA CHISHOLMGourmet Chicken Tenders: Recipe in Description | SaltWire #QuickRecipes #FoodShorts #CookingShortsSYDNEY, N.S. — A charity that grants wishes to seniors hopes to ramp up its reach through Canada — starting with Cape Breton.
Chisholm is from Sydney, recently moving back from Halifax. While going to school there, she met fellow co-founder Katie Mahoney. The two had both worked with seniors before, which led them to the question: “How many seniors have missed out on their own dreams?”Eight years later, the organization has granted 51 wishes, mostly around Halifax where their work began. Among the wishes granted to seniors were travel to a Billy Joel concert, the chance to fly a helicopter and a trip to Sable Island.
With Chisholm in Sydney, she plans to do more “on the ground work” in the area and potentially pave the way for more local wishes to be fulfilled.
