Special to the Journal
Lisa Furtak and Sherry Allen, residents of Jack Satter House, are the latest beneficiaries of Hebrew SeniorLife’s Power a Dream program, which grants deeply meaningful dreams to senior residents.
Both women, avid fans of musical theater, were thrilled to attend a live performance of the Tony Award-winning “Hadestown” at the Boch Center Wang Theatre in Boston. “Hadestown” reimagines the Greek myth of Orpheus and Eurydice, blending elements of folk, jazz, and blues. For Lisa, it was her first time experiencing a Broadway show, and for Sherry, it was her first live performance since the 1970s.
Margie Glou, a Power a Dream volunteer, accompanied Lisa and Sherry on their memorable trip. “It was an amazing afternoon!” Allen said of their adventure.
Hebrew SeniorLife’s Power a Dream program allows family members and staff to nominate residents of supportive living communities to receive a dream of a lifetime. These dreams can range from a motorcycle ride to a New England Patriots game or a visit with beloved family. The program offers recipients a spirit-lifting and hope-giving experience, reminding them that life continues to hold excitement and possibility.
Power a Dream is entirely funded by the generosity of our donors.
