Koreen’s wish was for a belated 27th birthday party. Along with her beloved sister Aimee, we were able to throw a colorful, fun-filled party, with a Lisa Frank theme. Koreen loves all things noisy and fun, along the lines of the 3 Stooges. Koreen and her guests enjoyed a fantastic pool party at a family friend’s clubhouse, and Wish Granters provided food from Costa Vida, a beautiful Lisa Frank cake made by Mads Cakery, balloons, poppers, water guns, bubbles, beach balls and bright decor! Koreen’s face was full of excitement and love for her family! It was a beautiful day, shared by a beautiful family and a memory to treasure always.
Dave’s first wish was to attend the WWE WrestleMania 42 event in Last Vegas in September. However due to some unexpected health issues, he needed to move to a wish that didn’t include travel. His second wish was to have a new mattress to replace the hospital one that they had been using for some time. Unfortunately, Dave passed on the weekend just prior to when his new mattress was set to arrive. Rostock Furniture in Caldwell wanted to follow through with the wish and provided Dave’s wife, Paula, with the mattress in his memory. Our community is so giving and once again Wish Granters was so thankful for the kindness extended to a brave woman in such a difficult time.
Brian’s wish was to have his daughter Kerrie’s car in working order so she could have reliable transportation as she is his driver for doctors appointments. Blazek Automotive generously provided a free diagnostic and a discount on materials, so all necessary repairs could be completed. Brian and Kerrie were overjoyed and incredibly grateful throughout the entire process. Our heartfelt thanks to Tony and Darcy Blazek of Blazek Automotive. Kerrie shared that Brian’s relief at no longer having to worry about this has been such a blessing!
Jameson’s wish was to attend a San Francisco Giants game, a dream he had as a lifelong fan. Thanks to the incredible generosity of the Giants organization, he and his wife received game tickets, a behind-the-scenes stadium tour, access to batting practice from the field, and the opportunity to meet one of his favorite players, Bryce Eldridge. He also had the opportunity to meet Noah Lowry, a former player from the early 2000’s! An incredibly kind member of the exclusive Gotham Club also treated them to a meal before the game and welcomed them back onto the field after the game for a drink. During their extra couple of days in the area, they enjoyed time by the waterfront and visited Alcatraz, making the trip even more memorable. Jameson and his wife never got a honeymoon as chemo started shortly after they were married, so this doubled as a honeymoon trip! It was truly a dream come true for Jameson.
