Did you know that Make-A-Wish has granted more than 550,000 wishes around the world? While that sounds like a lot, for every wish that comes true two more children with critical illnesses are waiting for theirs to be granted because Make-A-Wish lacks the necessary funding. I’m fundraising for Make-A-Wish so that all of these deserving kids and their families can know the life-changing joy, renewal, strength and hope that a wish can bring.
Y'all know that I absolutely love helping children and that I've happily dedicated my life to this through my career and my time volunteering. Over the past 20 years, I have had the great privilege of taking care of many patients who have had their wishes granted by Make-A-Wish. I have been blessed to witness firsthand how much these fulfilled wishes truly mean to these kiddos and their families. I will never forget how these wishes help them continue on their journey with renewed hope and strength, sometimes being the biggest push to help them carry on for another day. There are no words for the amount of joy they bring and memories they provide to these children and their families. These granted wishes are absolutely priceless.
I am totally thrilled that I am finally able to give back in honor of and in memory of all of these amazing children and their families. While I realize that this will be a trying experience for me, I know it is only a drop in the bucket compared to how many difficult trials these children and their families face on a daily basis.
Oh, and I won't be doing this alone. I'll be doing this with my team of 4 other amazing people from my home away from home, Hollowed Earth Pottery. I'll also be working on some pottery projects and all of the proceeds raised from them will be going toward my fundraising efforts.

Life-changing wishes are only possible because of supporters like us. Let's come together and make the wishes of these amazing, brave children come true!
