Basic Living

Dear The Granted Wish Foundation,

"Mr. Rochelle Walker is a 98-year-old, long-time resident of the Mechanicsville community in downtown Atlanta. A widower with no kids, Mr. Walker lives alone, but is aided day-to-day by his two nieces that he raised who affectionately refer to him as "Paw-Paw." Mr. Walker suffers from cancer and emphysema and lives with one functioning lung. He is on oxygen and must be very careful around harmful fumes and open flames. The Granted Wish Foundation was kind and generous enough to bless Mr. Walker with a Heat Surge—a heater that is cool to the touch, has no flame and does not give off harmful fumes! Now, luckily, Mr. Walker is able to remain warm without sacrificing his health."

Thank you - Bernita E. Grant

"I have had a very bad year financially. Being disabled and on a fixed income, I was not able to buy propane. I have a HUD two-bedroom trailer and one heater. I was very cold and had very little heat. I called everyone I thought could help me, even the state. No one had any money so I prayed very hard every day for help and found The Granted Wish Foundation. I figured it would turn out like all the rest. Then one day I received a call from The Granted Wish Foundation. They approved me for a Heat Surge heater. Who says prayers don't get answered?"

Thank You Granted Wish and God Bless You All! - Robert T. Worth

"It is with the greatest of joy that I write this not saying the greatest of 'Thank You's' a human could possibly say. You might be able to imagine how much me, my wife, daughter and granddaughter enjoy that fine, beautiful heater. No longer do we have to put up with cold floors. It was truly a heaven-sent blessing. Again, may you and all have great happiness. We will always remember where that beautiful heater came from."

God Bless - Richard Volbert

"I am the director of Destiny House Transitional Facility for Women." We house homeless, abused, battered, drug addict and alcoholic women. The upstairs in our facility was very cold. The heater has allowed residents in our facility to be warm and comfortable."

Thank You Granted Wish Foundation - Sharon Jefferson

"As a single mother with two handicapped sons, life can be, at times, difficult. With a fixed and limited income, the boys and I struggle financially, as the cost of living constantly is greater, especially utilities. When I asked The Granted Wish Foundation for help to purchase the Heat Surge for my family, I was so pleased and surprised that we were chosen for assistance. Within less than two weeks, we received our Heat Surge. What a beautiful piece of furniture! The convenience of being able to move it so easily allows us all to be comfortable in any room. The areas of our home that were too cold in the winter months are no more!"

Thank you for your kindness - Mona Piroch, Ron and Troy
