Wishes Granted in 2026
♥ Laura (“Scout”) – Her wish was to have some meals provided for herself, her husband, and her caregiver for a few weeks. She always loved to cook, but due to her medical situation, she unfortunately is not able to. These meals gave them some relief from planning or picking food up, as well as a feeling of having a cooked meal instead of takeout all of the time. We gave them some food delivery gift cards as well. Scout’s husband said the meals were delicious and super helpful! We want to give a big thank you to Last Bite Meals for their generous help with this wish! They had great communication and were very accommodating throughout the process.
♥ Fred – Their wish was for their child and four grandchildren to fly from Oklahoma to visit them one last time. They said they wanted to say their goodbyes and tell them how much they love them and how proud they are. Fred was overjoyed with the visit. This is a note from their daughter upon returning home: “It was wonderful. We truly appreciated the gift of the Wish Granters and all that your organization does for families. Our last memories will never be forgotten.”
♥ Amber – Her wish was to go to Disneyland with her kids and grandkids. They had an amazing time at both Disneyland and California Adventure and even took a day to enjoy the beach! These are some words from Amber “Oh my gosh… my heart is full and I am so grateful and thankful for this opportunity. It means more than you could ever know.” Our thanks to Get Away Today, Karmel Connect, Select Mobility Scooter Rental, and an anonymous donor for helping to make Amber’s wish come true for her and her family.
♥ Jerome – His wish was to have his truck repaired. He said it most importantly would allow him to spend more time with his children and help his daughter practice driving. We want to give a BIG thank you to Christian Brothers Automotive on Calderwood Dr in Meridian! Due to the amount of repairs that would need to be done to Jerome’s truck, they instead donated a car that wasn’t being used at their shop, and heavily discounted the repairs that needed to be done to it. We are so thankful to provide Jerome with a reliable vehicle, and we greatly appreciate Christian Brothers for their generosity!!
♥ Ember – Her wish was for a saltwater hot tub because it would be therapeutic and a huge pain reliever for her. We are so excited we could get this for her! This is what her friend said after the wish was completed: “She was so happy. She cried with so much joy and said thank you, thank you! She stayed in for hours once it was ready! She was so relaxed and happy. I could see she felt whole again being able to get in the water.” We want to give a special thank you to Ben at Ben’s Pool Care for donating the installation and setup!
♥ Paula – Her wish was to see the Eagles perform at the Sphere in Las Vegas with her husband, and it turned out to be everything she hoped for. They had an incredible time! When they returned, she said: “It really and truly was a once in a life event. Words fail me on thanking you. That just doesn’t seem to cover it!”
♥ Don – His wish was a deeply thoughtful one—he asked for help covering expenses so his sister-in-law and brother-in-law could come to Idaho and support his wife during his memorial service. Even in his final days, Don’s focus remained on caring for his wife. Don’s wife was incredibly touched and grateful that we were able to make this happen for her and their family.
