381. Kelly Marston

Kelly was homeless and on his own at the age of 14, but refused to give up. He worked hard, put himself through school, and eventually built a life filled with purpose, love, and stability. He met his wife, started a family, and they now have three amazing boys. He had a job he loved and was finally enjoying the peace he had fought so hard to find.

Then, everything changed when Kelly was diagnosed with stage 4 GIST cancer. Since then, life has become a blur of treatments, appointments, and uncertainty. But through it all, his biggest hope is to create beautiful, lasting memories with his family—while he still feels well enough to do so.

Kelly wished for a family trip to Universal Studios Orlando. A few days of laughter and magic would give them a much-needed escape and the chance to simply enjoy life together.

Kelly’s wish was granted and SWF sent the family to Universal Studios in Florida for four days.
