Lifelong baseball fan, Thomas Coker, is on hospice and lives at a skilled nursing facility in Central Omaha. His wish for his 75th birthday: attending a baseball game at the College World Series. His care team made that happen through the Dreamweaver Foundation.
- Tom’s caregivers, with Haven Hospice and Emerald Nursing and Rehab, adore him.
- Erinn Drouin from the Dreamweaver Foundation: “We have spent 12 years making connections in the community that allowed us to reach out quickly, get some tickets, schedule transport for him."
- Kayla Davis, one of his nursing assistants: “He’s always vocalized wanting to go to a baseball game and I feel lucky enough that I get to be the one to go with him ... I’m very grateful that they’re doing this for him.
