Wishes, Molly's wish

[Guest guest]

I have not read all the posts regarding wish granting for PID

kids....just want to share our story. About 16 months ago, Molly,

our 6 year old with CVID was granted a wish by make a wish. She got

a wonderful playground that was put in our back yard during a time

where she was not able to leave the house because of the problems

associated with her CVID. Molly has no other health problems and

her physician recommended her for the wish. It has been an

incredible addition to her life. Currently, Maggie, our 4 year old

is in the waiting line for a wish. Most wish organizations do

recognize immune disorders as a life threatening condition that

meets the criteria for their organizations to grant wishes to these

children, including CVID. The idea is to give children facing any

chronic, life threatening condition a chance to break away from the

stress of their condition and give them the chance to be a kid. The

organization recognize that many of these families cannot take

vacations etc. due to the added financial stress related to the

childrens disorders. Personally, for us, a vacation for our family

is constiturd by a trip to UCLA Children's hospital where we try to

tack on a day at the beginning or end to go to the beach. These

organization realize this and are there to help. Much of it is also

up to your physician to support the application. DON'T BE AFRAID TO

APPLY FOR A WISH FOR YOUR CHILD LIVING WITH A PID!
