The smile on 61-year-old Wayne’s face reflects the joy he felt upon receiving a stack of WINTER WISHES gifts for the holidays.
For 80-year-old Ms. Carol, even a package of toilet tissue brought happiness when she found it among her WINTER WISHES presents this year.
“She said she would love for us to express to her sponsors how incredibly blessed she feels and how thankful she is for every item she received through Winter Wishes. She says y’all have made her wishes come true,” her case manager said.
Wayne and Carol were among 285 recipients of this year’s WINTER WISHES campaign, which included more than 1,000 gifts delivered by TARCOG’s Medicaid Waiver case managers throughout December.
We are deeply appreciative of all the sponsors who helped make these wishes come true. The impact of these acts of generosity and kindness cannot be overstated.
Our case managers have shared story after story of the happiness these gifts brought to our clients during a season that could have been especially sad and lonely for many.
TARCOG’s Medicaid Waiver Program serves more than 1,000 clients of all ages across DeKalb, Jackson, Limestone, Madison, and Marshall counties. The holiday campaign began in 2002 as a simple gesture to share kindness and joy with those in need.
