MAN3025-U03 Spring 24
Our MAN3025 Spring '24 class taught by Dr. Roomes is proudly sponsoring Wish Kid, Sunday, whose wish is to go to Disney World. Our goal is to raise a minimum of $5,000 which is the average cost of a wish.
Sunday is 4 years old and was born with Congenital Nephrotic Syndrome. Because the filtration system in her kidneys did not work properly, she was leaking all the protein she was taking in through her urine. At one month old, her parents were told that this was genetic, there was no cure, and that she would eventually need a kidney transplant. At 3 months old, Sunday's first surgery was to remove her right kidney. Two days before her 2nd birthday, she received the ultimate gift of life. A new kidney donated to her by her father. Although she has suffered some complications from that big surgery, Sunday now leads a pretty typical life of a 4 year old.
When a wish is granted, a child replaces fear with confidence, sadness with joy and anxiety with hope. The majority of wish kids go on to beat their critical illnesses, and research shows that a wish can help children build the physical and emotional strength they need to fight – giving them a better chance of surviving and thriving.
Every day, 70+ children are diagnosed with a critical illness and count on donors like us to help make their wish come true.
Thanks for your support!
