35. Mary Lou Clowers

The wish of Mary Lou Clowers was to spend time with family and friends at Harpoles Heartland Lodge in Nebo, Illinois.

We cannot thank you enough for our weekend trip to this beautiful lodge! For the first time in a while Lou actually stayed up all day long and was in awe of this place. Not only that but I actually saw my dad sit down and relax for the first time in months. This has been a great way to spend our last Christmas all together for a whole weekend. Bless you for what you do!!! – Carrie Calloway

I can’t even begin to express the gratitude my family has for being able to spend this trip together.  Mary Lou was in great spirits and we were able to spend time with her.  She and my dad LOVED the place as it was so fitting for them with the nature in the house and outside.  For the first time since August I was also able to see my Dad relax and enjoy himself.  This last Christmas our family spent together will be one I cherish forever.  May God provide Stella’s Wish with many more blessings to many more families in the years to come.  Much Regards, Rachael

One patient wished to take yoga classes and Stella’s Wish Foundation honored her wish. Yoga made her feel really relaxed and comfortable when taking class.

We are so pleased that this recipient is IN REMISSION so we have removed the name for privacy reasons.

Mr. Jim Litherland, his wife and a family friend headed to Nashville, TN for three days of events in November 2014. Jim is hooked on Nashville music and loves the sound. Jim and family took a tour around the city’s hot spots and went to the Grand Ole Opry and a dinner boat cruise.

“Jim Litherland and our trip to Nashville went great. He was in seventh heaven at the Ryman Friday night as he got to shake hands with Marty Steward, and seeing Charlie Pride. You all made his day and wish come true .We had a wonderful time. We visited Boot Country and bought new cowboy boots. The dinner and show on the General Jackson floating down the Cumberland River was amazing. I just want to thank you again for making his wish come true. Keep up the good work you all do. – Jim and Michelle Litherland Jr.”

28. Gabriella Villapondo

Gabriella Villapando, age 19, wished to go on a shopping spree near Houston, Texas at Macy’s with a friend.

Macys did an outstanding job; they opened one hour early for her, gave her and her mom a makeover and provided food and drinks. Gabriella was given a $500.00 gift card from Stella’s wish and $100.00 from Macys as well as a 20% off discount. When Gabriella got to the register to check out, she was $200.00 over the limit. The store manager would not let Gabriella put anything back and the manager paid for the rest out of her own pocket.

A special thank you goes out to Macys and store manager (Leigh Ott), Memorial
City, Texas.
