Hi all! Long time no speak. Just wanted to update my blog on our latest project. We are now Wish Granters! We met a family, The Bennett's (Chris, Stephanie & Gracie) at the hospital during Maeci's chemo treatments who ended up going on our Wish trip with us last November. We had an fabulous time! I have never experienced a vacation like that EVER! The girls were spoiled rotten (which they totally deserved) and we, the parents even got special treatment. In our minds, was also well deserved.
Make-a-Wish is an amazing organization that grants the wishes of children with life threatening diseases. Our families have decided that God put us together for many reasons but the main reason is to GIVE BACK and to give hope and inspiration to others who are fighting.
We had our first fundraiser on May 6th and it was a huge success. We sponsored a 4 yr old little girl, Charla, with heart failure. We ended up with 24 teams! We also had a Silent Auction with loads of great items! We GRANTED CHARLA'S WISH with the help of many giving people!
We are now working on granting Wish #2.
Granting a wish is an experience that we will never forget and we want to continue doing. We thank God for giving us this opportunity and for blessing us with new friends.
