Cindy has been diagnosed with stage four pancreatic cancer that has spread to her liver.  Cindy had been a nurse for twenty three years, taking care of others and loving what she did. Unfortunately, Cindy had to quit her job a few weeks ago. Her husband’s work has also been limited due to recent surgeries, her mom has been also battling cancer, and her sister is recovering from a car accident. Her sister and best friend submitted Cindy’s wish to have a family trip to Hawaii.  What is really most important to her is to the family of 20 all together in one house with a heated pool and and stuff for the kids to do, so they can just all reconnect and spend quality time so they can all be in peace and understanding.

Stella’s Wish Foundation is providing a flight from Arizona to Oregon so that she may spend time with her sister, plus a VISA gift card for a hotel stay.

In October, Laura was diagnosed with Stage 4 Pancreatic Cancer, about 4 months after her husband’s cancer diagnosis. It has been a tough year for their family.  Her daughter submitted Laura’s wish to spend a weekend here in their home state of Michigan at Frankenmuth at the Bavarian Inn, where they can have a chicken dinner and just enjoy their first and last vacation together as a family with their two adult children.

Stella’s Wish Foundation is granting their family a 2-night stay at The Bavarian Inn in Michigan.

Camron’s wish was to meet Patrick Mahomes, but this could not be arranged, so Stella’s Wish sent Camron a gift card for a very nice dinner with family.

Nora was diagnosed with stage 4 colon rectal cancer six months after another major tragedy in their family.  She is fighting it with all she has doing bi-weekly chemo, but her tumor is 6 inches and can’t be removed, making her case terminal. She just got married two years ago and they were looking forward to a long life together.

Her new husband sold his motorcycle in order to take her to see the redwoods and sequoias in California but when they arrived, Yosemite was closed due to bad weather.  He made a wish so that he could do something special for her. Likewise, she wants to do something really special with him.

Stella’s Wish Foundation has made arrangements for the new couple to have a 2-night stay at a Hilton hotel in Savannah, Georgia and attend a concert!

This past June, Tyler, age 38, was diagnosed with stage 4 metastatic melanoma to the brain.

When Tyler was a young boy, he and his older brother visited his grandparents in Aiken, South Carolina. His grandparents took him to a practice round at the Masters Golf Tournament. Since that time Tyler has been an avid golfer. He went to school at the Golf Academy of America in Orlanda, Florida. He then followed his schooling up, with an extensive golf career, serving as an assistant golf director in several golf courses in Illinois, Arizona and Missouri.

It has been a dream of his to attend the Masters Golf Tournament to experience the actual tournament to enjoy the golf and follow some of his favorite golfers.  A parent made a wish on his behalf to grant him the opportunity to attend and their wish has been granted!

Kayla’s wish to go to DisneyWorld has been granted.

Emily was diagnosed with stage 4 triple negative breast cancer in February 2023. The majority of her treatment is complete (for now) and she wants to create lasting memories for her three children ages 5, 2.5, and 1.  The family lives in live in Northern Colorado and she and her husband wished for the opportunity to take them to Great Wolf Lodge and Cheyenne Mountain Zoo in Colorado Springs. Emily’s wish has been granted!

 

Marko is getting his wish to go to the Kalahari  in Pennsylvania with his family.

“We had a wonderful time. Thank you for your efforts, because I know that you went to a lot of trouble. It was really worth it for us. Because of the water slides, our teenage son joined in and “played,” and both Marko and I were able to have quality one-on-one time with him. I don’t really know the last time we were able to have fun with him like that. So thank you again for making that effort! Marko was able to relax and feel like he was on vacation and that was wonderful and uncommon too.  Thank you so much for taking care of us. We really needed to have that time together. It was a really wonderful weekend.”

 

Kristy Skaggs has a family of 7 – she and her husband, their 4 children and her mother who helps care for her and the children while her husband works. They have been through a lot since stage 4 diagnosis in July 2022. Kristy wished to be able to take her family on a small vacation or a trip.

Stella’s Wish Foundation is sending the family of seven to a cabin within their home state of Tennessee called Da Bears Cabin and also to see a few shows in the area.

Julia Hughes has Metastatic Breast Cancer with no cure. Her mother made a wish on her behalf.

Julia lives in Hawaii, so Stella’s Wish is sending her family to The Signature steak house on the 38^th floor of a hotel with a great view.
