Josh Wishes Really Do Come True
Josh's mom writes:

As you can see Josh had a great time. We got to do a little bit of everything. Thank you so much for granting his wish. The trip will be one of our family's fondest memories. It truly was MAGICAL. Everything from the limo, the Village and all of the wonderful staff and volunteers made our stay worry free. We all hated to come back to reality.

Shoshana Shoshana's mom writes:

Thank you sooo much for making this wish happen for Shoshana!!!! Beaches was wonderful. Shoshana had a great time as did all of us. This is a fabulous place for children both small and big. There was sooo much to do, great food, the staff is extremely nice, and the location beautiful. The Sesame Street Characters make it even more exciting.

Gavin Wish Stories
Gavin's Mom blogs:

This truly was an amazing place! Our every wish was made to come true allowing our family to find some joy amidst the many sad days we encounter. Seeing the smiles on our children's faces, knowing the fight for life Gavin is going through and the chaos that his sister endures, was more than overwhelming for us.



Alec This trip was a huge morale booster for Alec because he was physically able to travel to another country, where HE was in charge. Alec did what HE wanted to do. During his cancer treatment he was not in charge. The treatment was in charge. This trip was empowering for him.
