A full-circle moment, and a story that sits at the heart of why this work matters. Olivia, a hospice nurse with Paradigm Hospice, has cared for many of our residents over the years with compassion, dignity, and deep kindness. Today she came in for a slightly different reason, an interview filmed for our Night Light fundraiser. In this she shared a deeply personal discovery, that recently while taking a quiet moment at our resident memorial, she came across her uncle’s name, almost by accident. She didn’t realize that he had been cared for here at Morning Light, being still a child when he passed away. His name is now inscribed among those we honor, a lasting reminder of a life held with love. She said, “It felt like all this time I had meant to be here.”

She returned to the Home today with her wife Mary, a regular volunteer, and Joey — their beloved dog and animal therapy friend to so many of our residents over the past year. All to help us capture and share this story on film.

The video will go out next Thursday as part of the Night Light Event, join us for a moving evening of live music, surrounded by 1,000 candles — one for each life cared for at Morning Light. A powerful tribute to so many special people, and a way to help ensure we can continue to be there for those who will need us.

“Pacers forever.”

That’s what Jane, who is on hospice at the Morning Light Home, said while meeting Darnell Hillman, “Dr. Dunk,” and Dave Robisch. Her Making Memories Program wish was to meet a Pacers player, past or present, and yesterday she spent time with two Pacers legends.

One of the things that matters most to Jane is basketball. A lifelong Pacers fan, her wish was simple and heartfelt: to meet someone from the team she’s always loved. Through the kindness of our community, and with the help of documentary filmmaker Ted Green, that wish came true.

We had the honor of welcoming these legends into the home. “Dr. Dunk” Hillman won two ABA championships with the Pacers and later the first NBA Slam Dunk Contest in 1977. Robisch, a standout forward/center, played 13 professional seasons and was part of the Denver Nuggets’ 1975 ABA Western Division championship team before joining the Pacers from 1975 to 1977 during a memorable era for the franchise.

Together, they sat with Jane, sharing stories and memories from a golden era of the game, a reminder that here in Indiana, basketball isn’t just a sport, it’s a religion.

The Morning Light Home cares for individuals on hospice who are in need of a place to call home at the end of life, all at no cost. Moments like this are what our Making Memories program is all about, creating meaningful experiences to look forward to and cherish.

A dear friend of our resident Jane, Doug, generously donated these beautiful cut flowers for every resident in the home. Here, Morning Lights’s Brittany and board member Mary, who also volunteers at our front desk, help bring that beauty to life, filling our spaces with color, warmth, and the feeling of spring.

We are so grateful to Doug for his kindness and for bringing nature’s beauty into all of our residents’ rooms. A true friend to Jane and to Morning Light.

“Thy eternal summer shall not fade.” — William Shakespeare

Sadly, the entryway lantern is lit for one of our residents. A quiet light at our doorway, honoring a life we are caring for through their final hours. It is our tradition to light this lantern to allow visitors and staff to be aware that a resident of the Morning Light Home is transitioning.

Through our partnership with IU Indianapolis, we’re grateful to welcome nursing students into the Morning Light Home as part of their clinical learning. Pictured here with our Day Caregiving Manager Alexis are Olivia and Jess, two dedicated students already making a meaningful impact with our residents.

Olivia is heading to the Pediatric ICU and Jess to the Progressive ICU—paths that will place them at the heart of critical care for years to come. We’re so thankful they’ve been part of our home, sharing their kindness and care with our residents along the way.

Welcoming India to the Morning Light Home.
As our new Night Caregiving Manager, India a vital role in ensuring our residents are cared for with compassion, dignity, and warmth through every hour of the night. Providing 24/7 care takes a dedicated team, and we’re so grateful to have found someone like India leading the way after the sun goes down.

Here she is with our resident Doug, already building the kind of connections that make our house feel like home.

At Morning Light, it’s people like India who make our mission possible: offering a safe, loving place, at no cost, for individuals on hospice in urgent need of care.

Can we make a Indiana Pacers wish come true?
Welcoming new resident Jane to the Morning Light Home.

Jane is settling into life at Morning Light, already forming meaningful connections. Here she is this morning with Skye, one of our IU Nursing students, a simple moment of a new friendship.

She loves music, nature, and most of all, the Pacers! As part of our Making Memories program, Jane has one wish, to meet someone from the team she loves (past or present). It’s a long shot, but we believe in putting these moments out into the world and seeing what can happen with the circle of connection and support that our community contains.

If you have a connection, or know someone who might help make this wish come true, we’d love to hear from you. Email Nick at: Nick@morninglightinc.org

Today is National Zoo Lovers Day 🐾
Each year on April 8th, this day invites us to explore and appreciate the wonder of our local zoos but for Morning Light it also brings back a very special memory.

Through our Making Memories program, we had the honor of helping former resident Mark Dunn fulfill a wish that meant the world to him: a behinds the scenes visit to the zoo.

At Morning Light, our mission ensures that individuals on hospice have a safe, loving place to call home at no cost, it’s also about how we honor each life, by creating meaningful experiences, lasting memories, and moments that truly matter.

Mark’s visit to the zoo was one of those moments. A beautiful reminder that even in life’s most challenging chapters, there is still room for childlike wonder.
