Stephanie’s wish was to dine at one of Gordon Ramsay’s Hell’s Kitchen restaurants with her family. We couldn’t have been more excited for her – what a fun wish! Eating together as a family has always been important to Stephanie, and sharing meals together became even more significant, but difficult, after the unexpected passing of her daughter. This special trip was not only an opportunity to enjoy an amazing meal together, but also a way to honor her daughter’s memory and preserve cherished family traditions with her sons and sisters. We want to give a HUGE thank you to Harrah’s Resort Southern California for donating the meal, as well as to Gordon Ramsay himself for recording a personalized video message for Stephanie!! That truly made the evening unforgettable.
We also want to share some special words from Stephanie after the trip: “I have no words to truly thank you all for making this happen, it was such a beautiful experience […]. It was such a great memory that my family and I will never forget, it was so nice for us all to get together and just laugh […], it gave us all a chance to forget about the cancer for a bit and just have love and joy. […] We could never THANK YOU enough, this was truly special to us in so many ways, from my entire family and I thank you. You all are amazing people and we appreciate everything you do.”
Bill’s wish was to have a new washer and dryer for his wife, so she won’t have to worry about these essentials after he is gone. Both Bill and his wife were thrilled with the new appliances! We want to give a BIG thank you to The Home Depot in Nampa and to The Home Depot Foundation for generously sponsoring Bill’s wish. The Home Depot in Nampa is also organizing a group of volunteers/employees to beautify Bill’s yard this Spring. We are so thankful for their generosity and excited for Bill and his wife to enjoy it!
Christopher’s wish was to take his son and mom to Disneyland. They had an amazing time and especially loved anything related to Star Wars. Our thanks to Get Away Today, Karmel Shuttle, and Select Scooter Rental for helping us with this wish! This is a note from the family: “Words cannot express how thankful we are to Wish Granters for making this happen. The memories will be with us forever.”
Karen’s wish was to go to Disneyland with her husband, daughters, and grandchildren. Karen said they had so much fun and offered this thanks: “We are forever grateful for this organization, seriously you don’t even know. We love Idaho Wishgranters.” Our thanks to Get Away Today for their help in granting Karen’s wish!
