Jade's one true wish was to have a golden retriever puppy to snuggle with at home. A cuddly companion to keep her company after her kidney transplant. In the months leading up to her wish coming true, it's all she could think about. The Vancouver teen prepared by reading books about puppy care and eagerly anticipated the moment she'd come face to face with her new best friend, Gypsy.
Because of donors like you, Make-A-Wish Oregon was able to deliver hope to Jade in the form of a fluffy four-legged companion during an especially difficult time. For Jade, this life-changing moment was also an important step toward gaining her own independence. Caring for Gypsy all on her own is a way for the teen to move forward, after an extremely challenging time in her life.
Thank you for providing hope to children battling critical illnesses through your support of Make-A-Wish Oregon. During times like these, knowing there are others that embody generosity is both humbling and inspiring.
