Our Impact
Mel, 17, who was diagnosed with Leukemia, WISHED to have gym equipment. Mel’s wish was all about creating a sanctuary that would not only help him stay active during his recovery but also serve as a retreat where he could relax, focus on his fitness, and gear up for his dream of playing football. His new space, complete with gym equipment and a cool, inviting atmosphere, gives him the freedom to train and recharge, fueling his hope and determination for the future.
Charisa, 17, who was diagnosed with Epilepsy, WISHED to have a pontoon boat. The pontoon boat has provided a shaded, secure environment where she can be part of the fun without risking her health, allowing her to experience the joy of being on the water, waving at other boaters, and seeing the sights. For Charisa and her family, this boat represents more than just a recreational activity—it’s a way for them to reconnect, share happy moments, and create lasting memories together on the water.
I little about Charisa – her favorite class in school is science, her favorite foods are cheese pasta and tiramisu, she loves dogs, swimming, and skateboarding.
Cristopher, 10, who was diagnosed with a malignant brain tumor, WISHED to have a shopping spree and it was a dream come true that filled his heart with joy. As a big fan of Legos, music, and gaming, Christopher received everything he needed to indulge in his passions, from new toys and music gear to a cozy setup for his room. His favorite new bedding added an extra touch of comfort, turning his space into the perfect hangout where he can relax, play, and enjoy what he loves most—including some of his favorite foods like chicken nuggets and fries, Mexican cuisine, popcorn, Doritos, and chocolate chip cookies.
Autumn, 5, who was diagnosed with Long QT syndrome, WISHED to have a room makeover. Her new space became a cozy sanctuary where she can relax and enjoy her favorite activities. Autumn's love for the color pink was captured perfectly in her new bedspread, adding a cheerful touch to the room. Now, she has a special place to dance, play hide and seek, and enjoy her beloved children's books.
The makeover gave Autumn a space that is uniquely hers, bringing comfort and joy to a little girl who loves dancing, animals, yoga, fruit snacks, and all things fun and colorful.
Lilo, 4, who was diagnosed with Epilepsy, WISHED to go to Hawaii. She shared so many smiles, laughs and happy memories with her family on the trip.
