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.
