Wings To Neverland
Wings to Neverland is a heartwarming and inspiring podcast produced by A Chance In Life, a global nonprofit dedicated to empowering at-risk youth through education, leadership development, and community support. Co-hosted by Peter and Wendy, this podcast takes listeners on a journey filled with real-life stories of resilience and transformation. Drawing a creative parallel between the lost boys and girls of Neverland and the young people supported by A Chance In Life, Peter and Wendy explore how children from marginalized communities around the world find hope, healing, and purpose.
Each episode introduces a new story—of children who have faced extraordinary challenges but found their own version of Neverland through the programs and initiatives of A Chance In Life. The hosts bring these stories to life with playful banter, emotional reflections, and a deep passion for the organization's mission. From Italy to India, listeners will hear firsthand from the youth, staff, and supporters who make this magic happen.
Through these uplifting conversations, *Wings to Neverland* showcases how a little bit of support—what the hosts lovingly refer to as "pixie dust"—can change lives. Whether you're a longtime supporter of A Chance In Life or someone looking to be inspired by the power of hope and human connection, this podcast offers a meaningful look at what it means to give children wings to fly.

Love, Service, and the Secret to Happiness
Happy Valentine’s Day from Wings to Neverland! In this special episode, Peter and Wendy look deeper at love—not just the flowers-and-chocolates kind, but the kind that changes lives. Inspired by Monsignor John Patrick Carroll-Abbing’s powerful words—"The great lesson of life, the secret of happiness, is to love. And the essence of love is to serve."—they explore how love, when combined with service, creates lasting impact.
Join them as they share inspiring stories of how A Chance In Life continues to embody this philosophy 80 years after its founding, from The Village in Staten Island, where love is expressed through dignity and community, to international programs that empower young people to build their futures.
But that’s not all—Peter and Wendy also take a fun dive into the history of Valentine’s Day, revealing the rebellious and courageous story of Saint Valentine, the priest who risked everything to defend love. They connect his legacy to Monsignor Carroll-Abbing’s revolutionary work and remind us that real love isn’t just about grand gestures—it’s about showing up, serving, and making a difference.
So whether you’re celebrating with someone special, cherishing the love of family and friends, or waiting for Cupid’s arrow to strike, this episode will leave you inspired to spread love in the best way possible—through action.
Listen now, and remember: the greatest love stories are the ones we write with kindness and service.
