13-year-old donates $61 of her own money for Make-A-Wish

Heather S.

“My daughter was very touched by another girl’s (Make-A-Wish) story and donated her own money when she found out that none of her friends had. She is really putting all parents to shame when your 13-year-old daughter reminds you of the moral compass you have been giving her her whole life. Do unto to others, be kind, be loving."

Surprise meal at the hospital

Faith J.

“My baby was recently admitted to the hospital for five days due to several severe viruses, including RSV and pneumonia. To say it was a very stressful and emotionally draining week is an understatement. However, right when I would start getting overwhelmed, a coworker or friend would surprise us with a meal delivery to our room at Primary Children’s Hospital. It definitely helped lift our spirits in a time of stress and inspired us to want to pay it forward to someone else who is having a hard time.”
