On Nov. 26, Patricia will be going on a cruise of a lifetime with her friends. This almost didn’t happen. After making all but one payment for the cruise, Patricia’s daughter lost her job. Patricia covered her daughter’s basic bills, which put that last payment for the cruise out of reach. United Way volunteer Cherie Weinstein, a former executive at Carnival, coordinated directly with the company. Through Golden Wishes, Patricia’s cruise of a lifetime will become a reality.
