Leona lives near St. Louis, Missouri and was diagnosed with stage 4 sigmoid colon adenocarcinoma, a type of colon cancer. She would really like to make these last few years memorable ones for her granddaughter, who she has full custody of. Leona’s husband is wishing on her behalf to take Leona, her husband, son and daughter-in-law, and granddaughter to Orlando, Florida to visit Walt Disney World.

Stella’s Wish Foundation was able to send the family of five to Walt Disney World and Resort in Orlando.

Danielle Bohl is a mother to a 2-year-old son and was diagnosed with stage 4 metastatic breast cancer. She is currently undergoing chemotherapy while it works. Her parents have rented a home in Orlando, but Danielle’s mother, Pamela, wishes on Danielle’s behalf for Disney Park Passes for Danielle and her family.

Stella’s Wish Foundation granted this wish and provided Danielle with VISA gift cards to purchase the park passes and anything else they may need while in the parks.

An online moderator for one of the largest Foo Fighters fan pages on Facebook wrote to Stella’s Wish the following:

“It has come to my attention, that one of our members, Teri Wagner Mullins is currently fighting a stage 4 recurrence breast cancer. She is terminal, with a prognosis of 3-5 years.

Recently, in discussions following the release of the Foo Fighters’ new album, “But Here We Are”, Teri posted the following:

“Ugh.. trying to figure out if I can skip chemo for a month so I can go to louder than life and see the guys. Both are expensive yes… But I’m stg four and I want to pretend I have a normal life for a day or two. !!! Am I crazy??”

Teri, married for 21 years, is age 51 and is mother to five children ages 32, 29, 27, 21 and 10. She is also a grandmother to one precocious little red-headed boy. She has devoted her life to one of the most admirable professions and has been a nurse in a hospital setting for 20 years until cancer forced her out of the profession and into disability.

Raising five kids and a devoted nursing career means that Teri has never seen the Foo Fighters live.

As a devoted member and mod to one of the biggest Foo Fighters fan pages, and a devoted fan, I would like to implore you to consider providing Ms. Mullins and her family with the wish of a lifetime.

Her post came in just the right time—the Foo Fighters are presently scheduled for upcoming festivals/shows. They are also announcing a US tour for 2024.

It would be great if she (and her family) could be guests at a show of your choosing near to St. Louis, Missouri, where she lives. We don’t want her to stop her chemo, as it is apparently slowing the growth of her cancer, and we don’t want her to give up any precious moments on earth and with her family (especially her little 10-year-old) in order to fulfill her dream of seeing the Foo Fighters.

Please, fulfill the dream of Teri Wagner Mullins and bring her to the concert of her dreams and give her the VIP treatment – not only for you, but on behalf of all of her Foo Family as well. Our Facebook Foo Fighters fan group has over 122,000 members rooting Teri on and hoping her dream can be fulfilled!”

Stella’s Wish was able to send Terry to Branson, Missouri to see the Foo Fighters concert so she can both have a sense of normalcy and excitement as well as continue her Chemo treatments.

Larry is a veteran and loving husband. He was stationed on the USS Missouri from 1985-1989. He was diagnosed with stage 4 inoperable lung cancer in 2021. Fortunately, Larry’s health is doing well at the moment. His wish is to remember his previous experiences by visiting the USS Missouri in Honolulu, Hawaii. While in Hawaii with his wife, he hopes to visit Pearl Harbor as well.

Stella’s Wish Foundation was happy to make this wish come true by sending Larry and his wife on the trip to Hawaii to visit both the USS Missouri and Pearl Harbor.

Penny lives in Pennsylvania with her husband. Her husband suffered from a massive heart attack and then she was diagnosed with stage 4 breast cancer 3 years afterwards. These health issues changed their lives and impacted their plans to visit Florida, where they had moved in their younger years.

Now, due to the cancer and subsequent thoracic spine issues, she is only comfortable if she is resting upright. She has tried propping herself upright in bed and even sleeping in the recliner if she still can’t find a comfortable sleeping position. Penny wished for an adjustable bed frame and mattress so she can rest and relax comfortably. She hopes that the adjustable bed will fit better with the relaxing nature of her bedroom and she can even use it to be upright to work on her diamond art that she likes to do with her free time.

Stella’s Wish Foundation was able to provide a queen adjustable bed frame and mattress, sheets, and pillows for Penny from Mattress Firm so she is able to rest and relax comfortably as well as work on her diamond art.

 

Rose Jackson is a 60-year-old woman who enjoys family time and vacationing with her husband until he lost his battle with cancer in 2017. She was diagnosed with stage 4 breast cancer, but still works to maintain a sense of normalcy between treatments.

Stella’s Wish Foundation was able to grant her wish of traveling to Atlanta, Georgia for a weekend getaway to see her family. She was very excited to see her new great nephew who was born in June.

Alishia is a mother of two children who lives in Missouri. She was diagnosed with breast cancer, which she has been fighting for 5+ years. Unfortunately, the cancer spread to her bones and liver. She wishes for some memories for her kids to hold on to after her fight is over.

Stella’s Wish Foundation was able to grant this wish and send Alishia and her two kids to Branson, Missouri for a fun trip.

Bryan is a 20-year-old young man who is a bit of a foodie. His favorite thing is to try new menu items when restaurants around him release them. Bryan has Autism and was also diagnosed with Rhabdomyosarcoma, an aggressive cancer that starts in soft tissue in the body and is most common in children and young adults. He lives with his grandmother, Ella Mae, and she requests assistance to help Bryan try as many new menu items from local eateries as possible.

Stella’s Wish Foundation sent Bryan gift cards to his favorite restaurants including Mcdonald’s, Taco Bell, Wendy’s, Texas Roadhouse, and Chilli’s so he can sample some of their delicious new menu items.
