Never Too Late's primary purpose has been to reach out to elderly and terminally ill adults and help make their wishes and dreams come true. NTL's secondary purpose has been to honor requests from any of our elder citizens (generally 65 and over), regardless of where they reside, providing they (or one of their family members) are willing to help. 

Mostly, Never Too Late has been about making connections, networking in the best sense of the word, making people feel good about themselves. This program was about taking people who felt invisible and forgotten and showing them we care just because they are alive and with us. It is not about what they bring to the table, or what they can do for us - it is about our remembering them and honoring them for all they have ever done or been all of their long lives. This is a full circle treatment, honoring their early and middle years and treating them with grace and dignity in their final years.

Never Too Late has been staffed by a passionate group of volunteers who have donated their time and talents to help make the dreams and wishes of the forgotten elderly and terminally ill adults come true.  99% of our contributions have been used to fulfill our wish requests.
