On Thursday August 7th Noah and I will be flying together for the very first time—for a deeply meaningful trip to attend his first family reunion. Even more special, both his daytime and overnight RNs will be joining us! Their presence will allow Noah and me to truly enjoy each other and our family while his nurses focus on his care (and still have a great time themselves—we’re a team!)

This trip is being made possible through Wishes & More, a wonderful organization granting experiences to children facing critical illnesses.

While the major parts of the trip are generously covered, I’m raising $1,000 to help with out-of-pocket expenses not covered by the wish.

After being out of work from January through March, I’ve been catching up financially—and truthfully, this trip would not have been possible without support from Wishes & More. Now, I’m humbly asking my community for help to fill in the gap.

If you’d like to contribute, you can give via:

Every gift—no matter the amount—is meaningful. Your support doesn’t just help fund a trip. It helps create a first—a moment filled with joy, connection, and lasting memories for Noah and me. Be a part of something special. Be a part of this wish.

Your support helps us turn a dream into a memory. Whether you give $5 or $50, you’re part of something meaningful—a moment we’ll remember forever.

Thank you for being part of this journey with us.

With love,

Melissa
