Eric Moritz has been surprised with wish granted for a visit Colonial Williamsburg and take a Richmond historic trolley tour. Eric was diagnosed with Stage 4 Esophageal Cancer in 2015 and has gone through extension radiation, chemo treatments and surgery.
Eric is a history buff with special interest in the Civil War. He and his wife never had a honeymoon so this will be a very special vacation for them. The Moritz’s have 2 children and 2 grandsons.
Lisa Marie Schnaath’s wish was granted to take her dream vacation to Disney World with family and friends before beginning a new regimen of chemo.
“Lisa has the most beautiful smile and disposition and lights up a room when she walks in. She always manages to see the good in every situation and always seeks to find a silver lining. She has a loving husband, Nathan, and is the mother of Chloe and Chace… I would love for her to have the opportunity to kick back, relax and make beautiful memories to last a lifetime with her family in Florida. Her whole life she has given to others, and now it’s time for others to come together to bless her.” – Lisa’s cousin

Pete was presented with a fabulous trip to Green Bay Wisconsin to see the Packers play courtesy of Stella’s Wish Foundation. The hotel had a free shuttle and was there to take us anywhere we needed to go. Pete’s son, Brian, was able to join us and together they watched the Packers win against the Philadelphia Eagles (I’m from PA!) We also took a very interesting tour of the stadium and had lunch there. Thank you Stellas Wish Foundation! And thanks to Kelly for being our taxi to and from the airport! #tsacares #trulyblessed #stellaswish #fathersonbonding #godisgood #prayingforamiracle #deltarocks #perfectweather #firsttimeuberuser
Below is the view from their seats (which they had to change since Pete fell trying to get to the assigned sests!). There were no handrails for him to hold on to. They parked him in a handicapped spot.
Dolores Hemphill’s wish was granted for a comfy new recliner.
Erin Hoffman’s wish was to travel to Disneyworld with her family.
Liz Robertson wanted to meet Ellen Degeneres, but the foundation was not able to reach her so we were going to arrange a dinner with family. Liz passed away before it could be arranged, so instead Stella’s Wish Foundation will provide a lunch before the funeral in her honor.
