Meet Jim, a 93-year-old retired Air Force veteran and former Air Force Academy instructor. Over the past decade, Jim has faced profound loss, including his wife of 61 years and two sons. Despite these hardships, he has found strength in his faith and the companionship of his beloved dog, Missy.

When his home healthcare social worker asked about his Vet’s Wish, Jim’s simple request was a photo with Missy. We honored his wish with a heartfelt photo shoot, thanks to local photographer Carmen Jones. Jim now has a beautiful photo book to cherish the enduring bond with his loyal, furry companion.

A big thank you to the amazing team at Kool Graphics for granting this wish! You can help grant a wish too by making a gift today at MyWish.org.
