Natalie's Wish Day

It was a good day today for Natalie and Make A Wish. She and her family traveled from the Midwest and her wish was to meet Vera Wang. She and her staff were very good with Natalie and her family. There was a big lunch with birthday cake. The rest of the day was exciting for her as Vera walked her through the design process. There were also lots of surprises including the custom made wardrobe that Natalie gets to take home. The best part for her was also the custom made prom dress and private fitting with Vera. The designer even made a ten thousand dollar donation to the Foundation. I can't wait to see the GMA piece when it makes it to air. I must say though I didn't care for Chris Cuomo that much. Too much of a rushed reporter attitude. I'm really happy though that Natalie had a fabulous day. Her happiness makes me happy. She has had a long road but at least today's experience is one that she will be able to remember forever. For me, this was a good wish assist to wrap up the year with. Over the course of this year, I have been able to meet some amazing families and dynamic children and teens. The wishes as unique as the child. The moments...priceless. These are the days I know volunteering my time is worth it.
