"I wish to have a doctor-themed playhouse" - Penny, 5 cancer. Match my gift for kids in need of a wish.]( Before the day is over, another 40 kids will have been added to the list of waiting wishes – kids like 5-year-old Penny, who is fighting cancer. During her time at the hospital for cancer treatments, Penny would play with her doctors’ stethoscopes, “help” with doing lab draws and emulate her caretakers, and play pretend as one of her medical providers helped her be less afraid. That bravery was crucial as Penny experienced some major medical setbacks, like losing her vision and some of her hearing. Through these roadblocks, her impending wish day gave her so much more hope to look forward to. Today, your gift for wish kids like Penny will be MATCHED toward our goal to raise $72,000 before the end of Childhood Cancer Awareness Month – in honor of the 72 kids who are diagnosed with critical illnesses each day.
