In 2016, Stacy was diagnosed with breast cancer. She is a mother of four young adults but several months after being diagnosed, she lost her oldest sone. Their dad was still in the military and away at the time so she was their rock. In a matter of months, she mom started chemo, lost a child, moved to a new state and had a mastectomy. Then she went through radiation, reconstruction surgery and help her family try and heal. Even with all the preventive steps the doctors took, right before the family was to celebrate 5 years in remission, she was told they spotted something in her lung. She was diagnosed with Metastatic Breast Cancer. A daughter is about to return to college and a son will start his first year in January. Her kids submitted a wish on behalf of their mom for a small breed puppy to keep her active and be there for her so she doesn’t feel like an empty nester. Stacy’s sister recently visited with a small dog and now Stacy is so excited for getting a fur baby. Her daughter wrote “Please, please pick my mom next. I would love for her to have a dog before I leave next month. Thank you so much.”
WISH GRANTED: Stella’s Wish is sending $500 to get Stacey a puppy!
Hello, I wanted to thank you for everything. First of all for the Bible. I truly believe the quote “ The Bible is one of the greatest blessings bestowed by God on the children of men.” It is my goal to read and grow more daily.
I would also like to thank you for the gift card. I found a puppy for 700. So I put the gift card up so I can pick him up on August 28th. I am so excited!! Stella’s Wish is such a blessing. Even though I was diagnosed with Metastatic Breast Cancer and the numbers try to predict how long I can live after the diagnosis, I serve a mighty God. I’m going to be here to not only see future grandkids but also to raise my fur baby, Asher. The name Asher was chosen because it means fortunate blessing. I know not only will he help reduce stress but he will also help me stay active. I can go on and on about how wonderful I feel and how ecstatic I am. And you guys totally helped me feel this way. Thank you thank you thank you!!! I have included a pic of my baby and I will send another of us both after I pick him up at the end of this month. Again thank you for this wonderful blessing. 🤗
God Bless,
Stacy L. Palmer
