Mother and Daughter went to Fort Walton Beach in Florida. They stayed in a condo for 5 days.
Dear Stella’s Wish,
I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for the most wonderful and beautiful vacation. My wish was to see dolphins and the ocean for the first time, you made that possible. My brother was talking to a friend of his from work and his friend told him about your Foundation. Not only did you make my dream come true, you went above and beyond that. Don and his sister came to visit me before we left, bringing me a cooler decorated with a beach theme that was filled with snacks, a gift card, magazines, movies and the very special gift a Bible to enjoy on our trip. We stayed at the Nautilus Condominiums and it was a beautiful room and the view from the balcony was breathtaking.
I had a very hard time walking in the sand due to being so weak but my daughter was able to get me a sand wheelchair so that I could get down there, the sand was so soft. I spent the majority of my time just sitting on the balcony listening to the waves, it was so relaxing. It took my mind off things and spend some very special time with my daughter.
I pray daily that everyone can live a wonderful and healthy life. Thank you again for granting my wish to visit Fort Walton Beach Fl.
God Bless You,
Judy Yow
13. Denise Murray
Denise’s wish was to have dinner with family at Maggiano’s Italian Restaurant.
I wanted to extend our sincerest gratitude for granting us such a special night with our mom through Stella’s Wish Foundation. This was the first time in many, many months that could all be together with Denise and enjoy such a wonderful dinner. GOD is surely great…as this was the first day since her 2nd brain surgery that Denise was able to spend so much quality time with her husband and children. We thoroughly enjoyed the food, atmosphere and each other. We were able to relax and just bask in the moment, which was only made possible by YOU! Also, the flowers and chocolates were a wonderful touch to an already wonderful evening.
Thank you for going above and beyond, and for working with us over the past several months to make this happen. You are a very special person, and touch the lives of many. The work you started because of your promise to Stella gives others a glimpse of your love for her, and the type of person she was. Please keep in touch with us, and I will do the same. Moving forward, I would like to help you help others as you did for our family. Many Blessings to you and your team!!!
Brenda, Scott, Jodi, Justin, Amanda, Mark and Denise
12. Amber Worstell
All Amber wanted was to see her two children, age 2 and 4, have a good time at a backyard party. Her wish was made possible on June 2, 2012!
On June 2nd, 2012 over 160 people attended to support this special event for Amber and her two children. Various activities included a bouncy house provided by Mid America Moonwalks plus clowns and face painting brought much delight to the young and old alike! Food was provided by Monty’s BBQ from Troy, Missouri, accompanied by popcorn, cookies and sno-cones. The event took place at the home of Barb Bielby. The day was filled with laughter and joy!
