If you were granted three wishes what would they be, and furthermore, how would you go about achieving them? Well Cynthia Turner, owner of Detailed Travel Experts on Main Street in Jackson, is working on figuring out just that equation. She started The Wish Exchange in order to help people in the area to fulfill their needs while providing a network of support in a community oriented forum. The Exchange, which has been up and running for the past month, has already helped one local recipient with education tools for her children, and work related items. In turn, she has gone forward and helped fulfill another individual’s wish.

To enter your wishes and become involved Wish Exchange, boxes are currently located at the Mother Lode Deli, Richard and Sherri Woodcarving, Home Sweet Home, and Jose’s. A form will be available and you will be asked to provide your name, email address, phone number and your three wishes. All of the personal information will be kept confidential. At the end of the month a list will be compiled to include all received wishes, and sent out anonymously to individuals to various members of the community. Items that have been requested to date include used household appliances, clothes for children and adults, and even jobs. According to Cynthia Turner “the list of items literally run the gamut ...a lot of people don’t know where to turn [when they need help].” For more information please call Cynthia Turner at 1-800-570-1280.
