Jaxson: One ELLE of a Disney and Give Kids the World Family Vacation
After a very long wait, we were finally able to grant Caroline’s wish to go see Harry Stiles’ Love on Tour concert at Madison Square Garden. Along with her best friend Amelia, herself a cancer survivor, Caroline enjoyed some great meals, sightseeing and a special overnight stay at the Crowne Plaza.
In the words of her mother:
"Hi Laurie... this is Caroline Ross' mom Laurie Ann. I just wanted to reach out and thank you from the bottom of my heart for granting Caroline her wish . She has been crushing on Harry Stiles since she was a little kid .now at the age of 22 there are few things that bring back that giddy little girl . In her words , "this was the best weekend of my life". It's true that you guys bring joy . After two years of treatment and the hell she went through, the true bliss she experienced this weekend was absolutely the cherry on top post treatment. She enjoyed some great meals this weekend and hit a few places that she that she thought were cool while planning this experience . The concert was the highlight. She has been daydreaming about it since she got home. She shared this gift with her bestie Amelia. Amelia herself has battled cancer. Lymphoma has beat her up and after relapsing and getting a stem cell transplant she is doing great aside from trying to build up strength in her legs. This was a very special weekend for these girls .they both share a common experience in their journey through cancer, and now they share a journey in life. The good, the bad and the ordinary in betweens. This weekend falls into a very special category of life .. the awesome .. so again I thank you .. it helps to heal my heart to see her experience such joy after all that she went through . It also gives me joy to see a glimmer of that little girl I haven't seen in a long time ..so very grateful ❤️

Brandon and Brianna: One ELLE of a Paddleboard
Brandon, a 12 year old, and Briana, an 9 year old, are siblings from Middlesex, NJ. Both children are suffering from franconi anemia - bone marrow failure. They are huge fans of the ocean, and fell in love with paddle boarding when they took a lesson. We granted their wish for paddleboards so they can look forward to loads of fun on the water this summer.
