I am helping transform lives, one wish at a time!
This is my second year has a Woman for Wishes, and I feel honoured and privileged to be able to play a small part in making Wishes come true for these incredible children and their families♡
When asked to participate and lend my support, I knew that Make-A-Wish aligned with our families beliefs of giving back and being part of something bigger than ourselves. As a former educator and now RAH NICU volunteer, I have always gravitated towards anything to do with children. Our son was born six weeks early, and while spending the first three weeks of his life in the NICU and Peds Unit, we saw first hand so many children who were not as healthy as our son had been and the toll that takes on the child and their families. They required more time in hospital, more care and/or continued treatment. If I could help even one child or family look forward with hope and experience joy during their difficult, overwhelming and emotional journey, then of course I wanted to be part of that!
Did you know that a child is diagnosed with a critical illness every 20 minutes? With three new children facing critical illnesses each and every hour, the need for donations is continuous.
That's why I'm participating. I have an ambitious goal of personally raising $10,000 and I know with support from people like you, I will reach my goal! I’m one of 100+ diverse women across Canada who are coming together to raise $1 million dollars in 2024. The money raised will help bring every eligible child's wish to life, because a wish is an integral part of a child's treatment journey.
Will you help me reach my goal by donating what you can, so we can make wishes come true?
