On November 19th the David Louis Cunha Foundation had the true pleasure of presenting A Wish Come True of Coventry, RI a donation of $11,000.00 to sponsor two Wishes for two amazing children.
Wish One was for Adilyn, a 6 year old young lady who wished for her and her Mom & Dad to visit Disney World in Florida. At 20 weeks old, Adi was diagnosed with a Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia…which was compressing on her heart and lungs…preventing them from developing correctly. She spent 55 days in the Cardiac Vascular Intensive Care Unit at Boston Children’s and has undergone numerous surgeries. But she is a strong little girl and her perseverance continues to shine.
Wish Two was for Daine, a 14 year old young man who wished for him, his Mom, brother and little sister to return to his home in Alaska, which he had to leave 12 years ago for health reasons. Daine was diagnosed with Osteogenesis Imperfecta (OI), a genetic disorder that causes bones to break very easily, often from little or no apparent trauma. It is also known as “brittle bone” disease. Daine has had 27 broken bones and also has dealt with hearing loss, as well as heart and lung issues. Daine, like Adi, is a true fighter. We offer them both our prayers and best wishes.
David’s Foundation was privileged to sponsor these Wishes. What makes the donation and these Wishes extra special is that it was all made possible through the kindness of a friend of David’s from high school. Riley White (pictured), and Keller Williams Leading Edge Real Estate, sponsored a golf tournament in September…with all proceeds going to David’s Foundation. $11,000.00 Was raised…and donated to help make these Wishes come true. A heartfelt Thank You to Riley and his wonderful crew.
As always, thank YOU all so very much for your wonderful support and caring. We wish you a Blessed Christmas…and please stay tuned for news about David’s Foundation’s Christmas Giving. Merry Christmas !
