Guess what came in the mail on Monday?
Can you guess?
It’s probably pretty difficult without any clues, isn’t it?
Well, here is a hint….actually it’s not a hint…it’s just what came in the mail on Monday!
Children who have a life threatening illness are granted a wish.
Angelica, unfortunately, is eligible to receive a wish. I wish for all the wishes in the world that she were not eligible (as in, she was not dealing with cancer and the resulting chemotherapy) and yet she is. And so she gets to wish….
She has been referred to the Children’s Wish Foundation and on Monday the application came in the mail.
The different Wish Foundations are amazing.
If you have an opportunity to give to a Children’s Wish Foundation, please do……think about us. Think about all that we’ve gone through on this crazy journey and all that we have yet to go through. It’s personal. There are so many kids going through life threatening situations and to have a “wish” to give you hope, to brighten your day, to encourage you to keep going when things are tough, to put a smile on your face when you least feel like smiling…..it’s a powerful thing.
I never look at opportunities to give to BC Children’s Hospital or the Miracle Network, or Balding for Dollars or any of the Wish Foundations, the same way that I used to. It’s real! It’s personal.
They have given so much to us, to our family…….to Angelica!
If you have the opportunity, please give. There is a Balding for Dollars Event coming up at BC CHildren’s Hospital on May 7th, and if you are interested, you can go to their website and give….
This is not just some nebulous foundation that does some random nice things one in a while. We have personally benefited from the Balding for Dollars Foundation and want to be able to see them, help others.
Angelica contributed to the Kourageous Kids Calendar and although it’s already partially through the year, you can still purchase a calendar and have a piece of Geli’s Artwork.
We imagine all the people who have given to allow Geli to have a wish and we are so thankful for each and everyone…….
