I have 2 sons and 6 grandchildren. My husband Tom and I recently celebrated our 50 year anniversary. We like Boise so much. In my 26 year career in crime prevention and as the Executive Director of the Crime Prevention of Pennsylvania, I had the opportunity to make things better for all people in the state of PA.

I was drawn to Wish Granters after I heard about how some of the wish recipients used their gifts so selflessly. One man had a backyard fountain built for his wife, while another had new windows put in for his wife. I also really like the board. Each person brings a special gift that varies from fundraising, working and organizing events, to physically making the wishes happen for each person. I am so happy I chose Wish Granters, as it is the perfect fit for me, and so satisfying.

Sarah Brown is a native Idahoan born and raised in the Treasure Valley.  She received her bachelors from NNU and an MBA from Boise State University. A serial entrepreneur, she has started and sold a number of businesses. Currently she owns a bookkeeping business and has sold real estate since 2017.  In her spare time, you can find her spending time traveling or in the mountains with her boyfriend and three dogs.

She joined Wish Granters because she likes the cause and wants to help! She is volunteering her services because she doesn’t want to cut into a budget that is used for helping people that are going through the biggest struggle of their lives.

Grace joined Wish Granters as an intern in January 2023, then after her internship was over, she decided to stay involved and become a Board Member! Grace joined the Wish Granters team because she believes in the mission and has always enjoyed connecting with the community.

Grace is currently working towards her Sociology degree at Boise State University with less than
a year left to go. She also has a part-time job working with adults with developmental
disabilities. When not in school or work, oftentimes you can find Grace playing online
games with friends, cooking, traveling, or spending time with her boyfriend.

What mainly drew Grace to working with Wish Granters was being able to help other terminally
ill adults and their families make lasting memories together. This is because she witnessed her
friend’s mother go through multiple types of cancer growing up, and unfortunately she passed
away in May 2014. Grace hopes to make a positive impact within the community and on the
lives of terminally ill adults across Idaho.
