Meet Our Moms

Adrienne is our first mom from Canada! We touched base with Adrienne 2 years ago. It became too difficult for her to plan a wish. She was still working out treatments for her stage 4 breast cancer that was spreading. Her husband contacted us back in May and asked if we could plan a wish and surprise Adrienne. With the help of our amazing travel agent, a trip was planned for Banff, Canada. Her wish was granted in June 2018.

Anita is 43 years old with a 14 year old son. She was diagnosed with Metastatic Breast Cancer in 2016. It has spread to her ribs, spine, pelvis and now her lymph nodes.

Kara is a wife and mom to 4 children. She was diagnosed with metastatic breast cancer that has spread to many places including her brain. Her life expectancy is pretty short so we were able to quickly get her wish granted thanks to an amazing donor! They left on April 21st and took a 4 day cruise to the Bahamas!! They are cherishing all the time they have together as a family, and we are so thankful we got to help bring some joy in this difficult time! Her wish was granted in May 2018.

Tiffany’s wish has always been to go to Hawaii!! She will spend the week on the beach and watching her son take surfing lessons. She has been battling metastatic breast cancer for 2 years.

Michelle was a single mom who battled ovarian cancer over 4 years. She was uncertain how much time she had left but knowing her daughter would soon turn 10 was very important to her. She did not want to miss this special day, so we granted her wish of throwing her daughter a surprise 10th birthday party in December 2017. Michelle gave us her vision and what gifts she wanted to give her daughter. Her daughter was so surprised and said it was the best birthday ever! Michelle passed away a few days later.

Melissa was a single mom of two children ages 16 and 15. She was diagnosed with stage 4 colon cancer.  Her wish was to take her kids to DisneyWorld. Her family hopes to honor that wish one day since she was unable to travel. Instead, we brought Christmas early to Melissa and her kids. This wish was granted in 48 hours by the help of many people. Melissa watched her children open gifts and listened to carolers outside while the snow was falling. Melissa passed away a week later on December 6, 2017.
