Make-a-Wish has long been a group of which I’ve thought very highly. Putting a smile on a child’s face is always something wonderful, but when it’s a child with a lift-threatening medical condition that could use the extra pick-me-up, it’s even more amazing.
When Bubbles gets just a little older and can better understand the concept, I’d like to go through the process to be a wish-granter and be able to help out financially. Until then, though, and until I have some fundraising plans in place, there’s an easy way that we can all help Make-a-Wish. All you need to do is vote!
