Victory Centre Grants Wish!
A lifelong farmer, Grace Heinrich, age 91, wished to sit behind the wheel of a John Deere tractor once more. Grace's wish was granted on a beautiful fall day thanks to the folks at Victory Centre of Bartlett, where she lives, and the kindness of a Lisle horse farmer. Grace's daughters cried tears of joy at the sight of their mom "driving" the tractor again. Featured in the Chicago Tribune! Read more.

Daughters Donna Piper and Sue DeVries cried tears of joy at the sight of their mom in the John Deere's driver seat. "I'm not dead yet!" said Grace, smiling and enjoying the moment. Three horses whinnied and neighed in a corral beside Grace and the tractor. Grace's daughters shared stories about Grace's late husband and their dad Elmer, farming and working at the produce stand.
