Hi this is [daughter]. I just wanted to send you a picture of our Thanksgiving with our mom that you guys made possible. Unfortunately we got the news during the trip that she only has weeks left so this trip was everything to us. I cannot thank your foundation enough for the gift you gave our family. You made her last holiday on this earth as wonderful and filled with love as possible.

384. Rhonda Wiegand

Rhonda Wiegand is courageously fighting a battle with carcinoma cancer in her liver. After a grueling journey of surgery, countless chemo treatments, and hospital stays, we rejoiced in a clean scan in August 2022. That milestone was a beacon of hope. Yet, in May of last year, a new shadow appeared on her lung. She endured radiation, and we clung to hope until October, only to be met with the devastating news of several more spots. She bravely began chemo again, but the sickness it brought was overwhelming.

At the end of October, Rhonda, with incredible strength, made the courageous decision to stop chemo and truly live every precious moment.

In the coming months, Rhonda and her husband are renewing their vows, a testament to their enduring love. They were hoping to take a hot air balloon ride and reached out to Stella’s Wish, humbly asking for help in making this profound dream a reality.

Stella’s Wish Foundation was able to provide gift cards for their family to use together at iFly.
