Congratulations to Little Wishes for raising $250,000 on their community fundraising page! Little Wishes created their fundraising page in 2017, and 100% of every dollar that’s donated goes to granting the wishes of children at Lucile Packard Children’s Hospital.
“Little Wishes has granted so many amazing wishes at Packard Children’s, including celebrating important milestones spent in the hospital such as birthdays, graduations, and end of treatment, and even providing much needed comfort during end of life,” says cofounder Laura Euphrat, RN, BSN.
One child at our hospital, Pierce (above), was nearing the end of his six months of inpatient treatment and told his mom, “I want to be strong for when I get out of the hospital.” He requested a stationary bike that he could use in the hospital to build his strength. “We saw hope come into his eyes when he got his wish,” his mom, Meredith, recalls. “He built up his strength, rang the bell, and celebrated his end of treatment.”
Thank you to Little Wishes for lifting children’s spirits while in the hospital, and to everyone who has contributed to their fundraiser.
