That One Special Call…That One Special Person!

Wednesday, September 16th, 2009

Today was an awesome day for me and my new wish kid, Dasha!!

When I work on funding a wish kid, I usually make lots of calls to find sponsors, but today was very different. It’s always exciting to start work on a new wish because you encounter many different kinds of personalities.

Ok, so today I called the local Fire Department near Dasha’s home and told a fireman and president of their union, Jeff, about her. Little did I know that Jeff was getting to work right away to help. He called me about an hour later to tell me he wanted to fund Dasha’s whole entire wish! I was overjoyed that it happened so fast!

It just goes to show you that sometimes it only takes that one special phone call and that one special person to make things happen. Today was awesome!

One Special Person Can Make a World of Difference!

Friday, September 11th, 2009

I truly believe that we are purposely put in the paths of certain people… and such was my destiny with Chris.

I recently had the pleasure of working with Chris, a very special guy from the California Police Youth Charities. When I told him about Ludwick and his wish for a Playstation 3 and a TV, Chris not only got the game console and Ludwick’s favorite games and the TV, but he went way above and beyond.

Because he related to Ludwick’s love of football and everything that goes along with it, he was determined to make Ludwick’s wish special. And boy was it special! Chris scheduled former Denver Bronco player, Glen Cadrez and his wife, model-actress, Brande Roderick, to present Ludwick with his Playstation 3 & TV. It was way more than Ludwick or I ever expected.

Thank you Chris, for being that one special person to make a world of difference!
