When I called seven year old Aubrey from Ludington Michigan to introduce myself and ask about her wish, I never dreamed this tiny little girl would wish to meet a big bad wrestler such as CM Punk.  After speaking with Aubrey I did find out she is a huge wrestling fan and her number one wish was to meet Punk.  Aubrey has been battling neuroblastoma, a form of cancer for the past two years.  I quickly got to work and contacted WWE and was delighted to find out that Aubrey would be able to meet CM Punk in my own town, Tampa, Florida.  I began making travel plans for the family.
 The other day I met Aubrey and her family and we went to The St. Pete Times Forum.  We were escorted into a “special” room and before you know it CM Punk walked thru the door.  Aubrey was so excited to meet him and I think that Mr. Punk was just as thrilled to meet her.  The two of them talked and joked around and CM kept telling her how adorable she was.  He certainly was not nearly as menacing in person as he is in the ring.  She brought him some hand drawn pictures and a note for him to take home and he brought her a hat and T-Shirt as a gift from him.  After the meeting with CM was over Aubrey and her family attended the WWE Monday Night Raw Wrestling Event.  Thanks to CM Punk for making a very special young lady very happy!!!

Last year I spoke to Melissa of Taylor, Michigan.  Melissa has spina bifida and her wish was to meet Leland Chapman.  At that time Leland was not available to do a meet n greet so I asked her for her 2^nd wish.  She told me she wanted to go to Hawaii, so we planned it for October of 2008.  When I started planning the activities for her wish I remembered that Leland lives in Hawaii so I began making contact with Beth Chapman, his mother.  She soon replied back and we set up a meet n greet for Melissa while she was in Honolulu on he wish.  Leland was kind enough to spend two hours of his time getting to know Melissa and her family!  Thanks Leland for making a special young ladies wish better than she could ever have imagined.

Recently I worked on a wish for a young man who wanted a laptop computer.  After calling several people in his Fort Smith community Yvonne from the Alumnae Chapter called to say they were going to buy him his laptop and The Roundtable Group would buy the printer.  I then called Diversified Computer Resources and they agreed to install the router and printer and make it all work together. 

Limousines of Fort Smith picked up our Wish Kid and drove him to Furr’s Fresh Buffet where the Alumnae Group presented him with his laptop.  I just want to thank all involved for being so kind and making my Wish Kid feel so special!

Several months ago I began working on a wish for a little girl named Lanecia from Cleveland.  Lanecia is 4 years old and due to Sickle Cell Disease, she has been in and out of the hospital many times in her young life.  When I contacted Lanecia she told me her number one wish was to have a play set for her backyard.

I recently was able to purchase the play set but it arrived in three big boxes at Lanecia’s house.  So I began trying to find someone willing to go out to the house and assemble the play set and put it up in the yard.  After many calls I finally reached Paula from the Boy Scouts and she was more than happy to get her crew together to go out make Lanecia’s wish complete.  I just want to give my deepest thanks to Paula and her crew they truly made a difference in my Wish Kids Life.
