Metta for Life Foundation
Metta for Life Foundation celebrates seniors by granting wishes to recipients who cannot fulfill their own wishes due to financial reasons. The wish may fulfill an immediate need, the last wish, or an unfulfilled lifetime wish. Big or small, all wishes are significant to the recipient. We grant wishes to celebrate life and show seniors we care. We acknowledge seniors for their contributions to our lives.
