Wyoming Home Services (WyHS)

 Bill Daniels was a visionary business leader who grew up during the Great Depression, served his nation as a decorated fighter pilot, and built one of the nation’s earliest cable TV systems in Casper, then established the Daniels Fund to make life better for the people of Colorado, New Mexico, Utah, and Wyoming through grants, scholarships, and more. The Daniels Fund focuses on supporting highly effective and ethical nonprofit organizations that achieve significant results in the community.

Through helping fulfill his mother’s wish to remain in her own home independently as she aged and additional insight from his own experiences in his later years, Bill became motivated to help older adults achieve maximum independence and quality of life through in-home services, community engagement, and end-of-life/palliative care. 

Linda Blackstone, Board President, discovered this opportunity through research into increasing financial support for the Senior Center. Aimee Ottley Fleming, Executive Director, was familiar with this grant program through her work at Uinta Senior Citizens Center and promptly helped us apply. We were approved by the Daniels Fund grant committee and awarded $50,000 to be used for supplementing our in-home services programs.
