Monthly Giving, Life-Changing Impact
Alice, 6 | lymphoma
Prescription: become a princess
At only five, Alice was diagnosed with lymphoma. She faced months of chemotherapy, hospital visits, and the loss of her hair—but she never lost her smile. Alice’s prescribed wish trip became a vital part of her treatment journey, bringing renewed strength and joy. For the first time in a long time, she felt like herself again, proving that not all medicine comes in a bottle.
Arthur, 7 | heart condition
Prescription: feel the ocean waves
Born with congenital heart disease, Arthur has faced more surgeries than most will in a lifetime. Though nonverbal, his smile is his superpower, and his joy is unmistakable, especially around water. Arthur’s prescribed wish—a beach trip in the Bahamas—gave him more than his first family vacation. Every wave brought joy and laughter, and every moment offered hope and connection, proving that healing can happen beyond hospital walls.
