Smile-maker granted a wish

By Diane Davies-Dixon Correspondent PhillyBurbs.com
Seventeen years ago, a car accident left Judith Szabo with limited use of her legs.She was on her way home from her job as a nurse at Fox Chase when another vehicle slammed into her and ejected her from her car. The Bensalem resident now uses a wheelchair, but was left unable to continue her career as a nurse.However, there are plenty of things that Szabo, 74, can do -- including creating greeting cards to lift the spirits of others.
And on Wednesday, the Twilight Wish Foundation lifted Szabo's spirits.
The Twilight Wish Foundation is a national nonprofit charitable organization with a mission to enrich the lives of deserving elders by granting wishes.
Founded in 2003, the organization's national headquarters are in Doylestown. It has granted more than 1,865 individual wishes to seniors throughout the United States. Wishes are granted to those older than 68 with an income of less than 200 percent of poverty level.
