Laurie was diagnosed with breast cancer at the age of 39. Her youngest of 4 was just four at the time. She had a recurrence in 2013 and then went metastatic in 2020. Her youngest has since graduated high school and she has been blessed with 3 grand loves. She wants very much want to take the two older ones to Disney Hollywood Studios one day with her daughter from where they live 2 hours away.
Stella’s Wish Foundation has arranged for them to visit Disney with 4 kids.
Wendy is described by her husband of 34 year as “an absolute angel on Earth” and she has always put others first. Unfortunately, she is not able to continue treatment as it was actually doing more harm than good and she has been pulled off of everything for the cancer to run it’s course. Her husband, a veteran, made a wish to send her on a cruise while she is still able to travel. She’s recently been watching a lot of cruise shows on television with tears in her eyes.
Stella’s Wish was able to send the couple on a short cruise.
“Wendy and I would like to thank you so very much for this wish come true. We had a great time visiting Cozumel and Great Stirrup Cay. We enjoyed the food, the balcony view, (perfect weather by the way) and exploring the ship. Most of all, we enjoyed and appreciated the time spent together, especially knowing the significance of this cruise. We will forever be grateful for Stella’s Wish Foundation for this amazing gift. It gave us pleasant memories in an unpleasant time. Thank you again!”
