“No act of kindness, no matter how small, is ever wasted.” This year I am taking a big leap and getting out of my comfort zone financially and physically by taking on the Trailblaze Challenge. At the age of 18 years old, I was afforded a beautiful opportunity to work with young people and their families. This endeavor brought me the most joy and inspiration I had ever felt in my life. In this position I felt as though we were instilling hope and creating dreams for the future. I quickly noticed that when we invest in others and instill hope, skies the limit and dreams and miracles can take place. I also quickly learned that life was sweeter when you approach it from we, instead of just focusing on me. I continue to be blessed to work with young people and families to this day, and I want to give back the positive vibes and kindness that have been shared with me.
Did you know that Make-A-Wish grants more than 15,000 wishes nationwide every year? That’s a lot, yes. But that’s only 50% of the eligible kids. Every hour of every day, on average, three children are diagnosed with a critical illness. Every one of these kids needs a wish to give them strength and help them heal. I’m fundraising so more deserving kids and their families can know the true happiness, relief and renewal a wish can bring.
These essential wishes are only possible because of supporters like you. Together, we are transforming lives- One wish at a time!
