“I am 33 fighting stage 4 breast cancer. Ally’s Wish granted my family a trip to California. We get to take our boys to Disneyland and go on a whale-spotting cruise. They had everything lined up in a week’s time and we just can’t wait. It’s organizations like this that help make memories for loved ones. At this point it’s not about me, it’s about my family. This is for their memory banks. I’m sure other families that they have granted wishes for would agree that they are kind and truly a blessing in such a dark time. Thank you all for your hard work and generosity!”
