Team Shawn Helps Gabriella Make A Wish!

12/1/12

 

Gabriella Miller was a happy-go-lucky fourth grader in Northern Virginia until three weeks ago when she was diagnosed with a rare and aggressive form of inoperable brain cancer. Now Gabriella endures an almost-daily regimen of grueling radiation and chemotherapy treatments.

 

When Gabriella learned she qualified for the "Make-A-Wish" Foundation, she was delighted to submit her wish, which is to visit Paris, France. But Gabriella is the kind of child who doesn't like to 'get' something without giving something back. So Gabriella is asking all of her friends near and far to join her in writing letters to Santa Claus because if Macy's receives 1,000,000 letters to Santa before Christmas, the company will donate $1,000,000 to the Make-A-Wish Foundation.

 Talk about supporting thy neighbor...I just received word that another nonprofit in our area, "Team Shawn," an organization formed in memory of Shawn Haines, wrote a $500 check to Gabriella to cover her shopping expenses in Paris. That is A LOT of baguettes and eclairs! Thank you Gloria Haines. This campaign is for Shawn and so many other young people affected by cancer. Can everyone please post "SHAWN'S SPIRIT LIVES ON!" in the comments section of this post? Hugs to Team Shawn.
