                        TWILIGHT WISH FOUNDATION

  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The Chair recognizes the gentleman from 
Pennsylvania (Mr. Fitzpatrick) for 5 minutes.
  Mr. FITZPATRICK. Mr. Speaker, I rise to recognize a nonprofit 
organization in Bucks County, Pennsylvania, that recently celebrated 
its 15th anniversary.
  The Twilight Wish Foundation, based in Doylestown, seeks to grant the 
wishes of low-income senior citizens. These wishes can be big or small, 
ranging from meeting Philadelphia Eagles players to the purchasing of a 
new pair of eyeglasses.
  As a society, Mr. Speaker, it is incumbent upon all of us as both 
public servants and citizens to support programs and support policies 
that protect our senior citizens. I commend the work done by the 
Twilight Wish Foundation, and I applaud the leadership of founder and 
Chairman of the Board Cass Forkin. I would also like to thank Vice 
President Robin Kardane; Director of Community Relations Mary Farrell; 
and Director of Wish Management Michelle Bowren, for all their 
incredible work for our community.


                      Recognizing Bob Consulmagno

  Mr. FITZPATRICK. Mr. Speaker, I am proud to recognize a resident of 
Bucks County, Pennsylvania, who recently broke his fourth world record.
  Bob Consulmagno of Morrisville successfully broke the record for the 
most outstanding ab wheel rollouts while wearing a 40-pound weight 
vest. Making this feat more impressive is that Bob, a retired marine, 
completed this major accomplishment to raise awareness of mental 
illness.
  Diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder and bipolar disorder, 
Bob turned to sports and physical training to battle mental illness. 
Using his athleticism to garner attention to those who struggle from 
mental illness, Bob hopes to end the stigma with which it is often 
associated and to promote treatment for military veterans.
  I am proud to call Bob my constituent, and I am thankful for his 
service to our community and for turning challenging experiences into 
positive and educational engagements.


               Recognizing the Kaitlin Murphy Foundation

  Mr. FITZPATRICK. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize a nonprofit 
organization in Bucks County, Pennsylvania, that is working tirelessly 
to assist those struggling with drug addiction.
  The Kaitlin Murphy Foundation, established to honor the life and 
memory of Kaitlin Murphy of Doylestown, partners with law enforcement 
agencies and organizations with similar missions to provide resources 
to those suffering from substance abuse, along with their families.

  Some of these organizations include the HEART Program, which serves 
to rehabilitate females suffering from addiction at the Bucks County 
Correctional Facility; the Moyer Foundation's Camp Mariposa; and Bucks 
County Police Assisting in Recovery. For their work, the Kaitlin Murphy 
Foundation recently received a grant from Warrington Cares, the 
employee charity of Warrington Township.
  I am proud to represent such thoughtful and generous people in our 
community, and I applaud the work of the Kaitlin Murphy Foundation and 
Warrington Cares, and I will continue to do my part here in Washington 
to end this public health crisis.
  Lastly, I would like to extend my appreciation to Kaitlin's parents, 
Tim and Pat Murphy of Doylestown; Kaitlin's brother, Sean; and the 
organization's president, Annemarie Murphy of Warrington for all their 
work for our community.
