Bob Shahmardi was 4 years old when he developed a severe disease.Success rates with
the disease were relatively low at that time,but his family was lucky to find a community that
was helpful when they didn't have many resources and it was at that time that Make-A-Wish
stepped in.Through that organization,the Shahmardi family got to enjoy a trip to Walt
Disney World Resort in Florida.The then 4-year-old hugged a character actor as part of a
wish granted to him and his family by the organization."It wasn't just going on a trip.It was
more about how we got through that hard time.It was fun for me,but it was a lifeline for my
parents,”said Bob.
30 years later,Bob and his wife,Jill Welch,decided to turn their wedding into a
fundraiser for the Make-A-Wish Foundation.Their wedding guests financed two wishes of
local children,with more being planned.Many donated generously to the cause,spending
more,perhaps,than they might have if it was just to buy the couple a wedding gift like fine
china or a kitchen appliance.Bob said their wedding donation to the Make-A-Wish
Foundation isn't going to be a"one and done"situation.The second plan on continuing to
contribute is going forward.
Gloria Jetter Crockett,president and chief executive officer of the organization,said she
felt it amazing to have someone who benefited come back to pay it forward to other kids
looking for wishes.
Contrary to popular belief,Gloria stressed that wishes aren't given to critically ill
children as a "last wish",but are given as a part of the treatment process.The organization
granted at least 165 wishes last year.This year Gloria hopes to grant wishes whose number is
somewhere between 199 and 299,depending on funding.
