day 241...
when you wish upon a star --> 225,242 wishes granted every 38 minutes...
...we all know of the organization, some even may have a personal connection...i do; i have someone on the inside who is working her hardest to make wishes come true, my sister, marisa works for the Make-A-Wish Foundation in WV...she among many others are granting wishes of children with life threatening illnesses...this means that a child (& family), for that one (or few) days enjoys moments of happiness in a place of their dreams or meeting a person they idolize...and where those words of sickness, medicine, hospitals and not so fun stuff can stay away and allow those moments of pure joy...& maybe just maybe, those moments will carry them through the not so fun moments and they will forever be etched in their hearts...
my sister, among her colleagues, & many volunteers do this i know for those moments of happiness...they do it to make wishes come true...
