Greetings and thank you for your support of this life-changing project we fondly call "Chelsea's Wish". Each year, The Chelsea Hutchison Foundation (CHF) grants wish trips to families dealing with the struggles of seizures/epilepsy to attend the annual, one-of-a-kind Epilepsy Awareness Day and Epilepsy Expo at Disneyland.
Last November, we had the privilege of hosting 14 families - 55 people in total from across the United States. In just 16 short days, we will be selecting our 2018 trip winners. Our goal is to send 10-12 families this year. Chelsea's Wish trips include all major expenses. Life-long friendships are made and the feeling our families leave with is that of hope and comfort - knowing they are not alone in this nasty fight. Enjoy our most recent Chelsea's Wish video.
We are currently accepting nominations and have received about 120 to date. Word is getting out about these opportunities. Families will be randomly selected and winners notified on July 17th.
Our next report will show our lucky winners!
