I have been working at Kids Wish Network for well over a year now, granting many wishes along the way. I almost feel selfish for the feeling that I get when I make the wish of one of my little cherubs come true. Seeing a little sparkle in the eye of a four –year-old as he hugs Goofy makes my day.

As I sit in my little office cubby, I am surrounded by reminders of the wonderful things that we do here at Kids Wish Network. Pictures, cards, letters and mementos from my wish children and families hang within arm’s reach: Dylan licking the frosting off of a piece of cake at a Disney dinner; Eli giggling and squirming as his favorite author, Jonathan London, reads him a Froggy story; Samantha smiling as the Laguna Beach sun sets behind her; Caleb proudly displaying his new XBOX- just to name a few… The one thing that these children all have in common is a smile. That’s the best part of being a Wish Coordinator- knowing that for a moment in time I played a small part in making these special children happy.
