A shout out to our recent wish recipients and their family members. These are a few photos of recent wishes. Our Wish Program continues to provide wishes to adults facing a terminal illness.
Granting Wishes, Giving Hope and Creating Lasting Memories. Thank you for your continued support.
Karel’s wish was to go eat at Brick 29 and go to a BSU football game with her family. They had a wonderful dinner and a blast at the game as well. She was decked out in BSU gear and smiling from ear to ear. She said after it was all done that it “was the best day ever.” Her brother kept thanking Wish Granters for this experience for their family. We want to give a huge thank you to BSU Athletics, Brick 29, and Debbie Marshall for making this wish come true!
Colleen’s wish was to have planter boxes at the facility where she lives since she enjoys being outdoors, gardening, and growing things. She plans to get everyone in the facility involved in the effort! When the planters and supplies were delivered, she was so happy and grateful that her wish came true that she started planting right away and couldn’t stop smiling. This is a thank you from her chaplain: “Today, the Wish Granters delivered 2 beautiful wooden planters plus potting soil, planting tools, flowers, and gloves for Colleen, a Hospice Patient, and she was very grateful for all of it. Her planter was falling apart, and the new ones were very well constructed and made of cedar, so they will last much longer. Colleen’s spirituality is tied up with nature and plants, so this gives her a chance to practice what is most important to her. Many thanks to all who were involved! Wish Granters is a wonderful program that is very much appreciated!!” Our thanks to Mr. Handyman of Boise, Meridian and Nampa and to D&B Supply for making Colleen’s wish come true!
Dale’s wish was to attend a Colorado Avalanche hockey game. He said this trip gave him and his wife a chance to disconnect from the daily effects of life and cancer. He was also able to spend time with his Dad who lives in Colorado, and he said that was so great to get to be with him. His dad was even able to accompany Dale and his wife to the game! We want to give a huge thank you to Kroenke Sports & Entertainment, KSE Tours, and two donors (who wish to remain anonymous) for helping to make Dale’s wish come true!
Megan’s wish was for a gaming computer, monitor, and special keypad. It looks super cool, and she loves it! She said that after it arrived, she spent the entire weekend playing games. We love this pic of her smiling with the gaming system in the background behind her. We are so glad she is having fun using it!
