Yesterday, my fellow development diva Melissa told me about a woman from Michigan who wanted to help children from her home state, so I gathered all the information on the children I’m working on in Michigan. To my surprise, I discovered that I have 10 children there and I sent her all the information about each child’s wish.

Within the hour the wonderful “Michigan Guardian Angel” called me and wanted to know all she could about each child. She was so nice; I could tell she had a big heart. She wanted so badly to help each child with their wish.

What happened next was probably one of the biggest surprises I’ve had since I’ve worked at Kids Wish Network. This wonderful “Michigan Angel” gave a portion of her donation to each child’s wish. This means that every wish child I have who lives in Michigan will receive help from this very special lady.

I talk to our Guardian Angels quite often and they’re wonderful people, but this lady was so amazing that I could barely speak when I hung up the phone! I hope she knows just how special she is and that she’s bringing happiness and lasting memories to the children she helped!

So, because of this, I want to say a very special thank you to this very special lady from Michigan – it is a huge help to so many children!

The work that is done here at Kids Wish Network is, in my opinion, some of the most important work there is. While we work hard day after day, we can’t always do everything on our own. We need your help!

We often reach out to the community for help with different aspects of our wishes – press, participation, fundraising and donations. While we know that you may not always be able to help out, it would help us a lot of we could just get a response from you. Please take a few minutes to return our phone calls and e-mails and let us know that you did receive the information but are unable to help or participate at this time. We are very persistent here; if we don’t hear back, we’ll keep calling!

A big thank you goes out to those who do respond to our inquiries. Thank you very much for taking the time out of your day to listen to us. Because of your help, some very deserving children have gotten the wishes of their lives and others have gotten to take part in a monthly celebration that focuses on them and not their situation. It’s because of you and these kids that we keep doing what we do.

And keep picking up the phone again and again…
