We have a fierce commitment to improve the lives of adults living with illness.
Our Work
Enjoy a look at the wishes we've currently granted and those that we are working on in 2024.
01
Ms. Dee & The Birds
Our very first wish was granted to Ms. Dee, a patient with end stage respiratory disease that resides in Vermont. Ms. Dee is homebound due to her illness, and after her dog passed she found herself largely isolated and on a fixed income. She found Laura's Wish Foundation and was hopeful that we could find her some birds. Companions that she could talk to and care for easily.
Luckily there were a pair of birds in Dee's community that needed to be rehomed. LWF was able to deliver the pair, Skye and O'Malley to Ms. Dee along with a year supple of food in tow.

Lenny - The Daytona 500
Lenny, a 9 year cancer survivor of 3 primary cancers - most recently diagnosed with his 3rd primary cancer, stage 4 Aggressive Small Cell Carcinoma is an avid Nascar Junkie. He had always dreamt of going to the Daytona 500. After Lenny received devastating news of a new cancer, LWF was contacted to send him and 8 other family members to the sold out race. LWF partnered with the Nascar Foundation and was able to send Lenny, his wife, 2 adult children and their families, including 3 of his grand daughters to the race. The family enjoyed a 3 night stay in Orlando, a tour of the track and race garage, the Xfinity race and the Daytona 500 itself.
