Make-A-Wish Foundation

Make-A-Wish Foundation

The total of $4370 that was raised this year for Make-A-Wish will make Tierra's wish come true. Thanks to everyone that helped out! 

Tierra, 17, loves to shop at Old Navy, talk on the phone, and listen to Luther Vandross.  She enjoys eating out with her friends at Red Lobster, and sharing her two favorite foods with them – chocolate and french fries!  What Tierra cannot share, however, is her battle with Lupus Cerebritis/Vasculitis. When asked her Wish, she could think of nothing she wanted more than a shopping spree.  In November, Tierra’s wish for a shopping spree will be granted!   

Since 1980, the Make-A-Wish Foundation® has enriched the lives of children with life-threatening medical conditions through its wish-granting work. The Foundation's mission reflects the life-changing impact that a Make-A-Wish® experience has on children, families, referral sources, donors, sponsors, and entire communities.

Past wishes that NetEffects has helped grant:

  • 2005 Tabitha was taken on a shopping spree and was excited to be able to purchase lots of items that she could only dream about before.
  • 2004 five-year-old Eric who lives in Ballwin. He has Cri du shat Syndrome which severely delays his development. He went to Disney World with his family.
  • 2003 Ryan is 17 years old, resides in Glendale and suffers from Burkittis Lymphoma, a form of cancer. He enjoys soccer, baseball and music. His wish will come true this month when he sees his car revealed as a customized street rod. His wish is to have his car transformed with a new custom paint job, ground effects, windows tinted, a complete stereo system upgrade and other custom components.
  • 2002 A child wanted to learn how to play the guitar. He received an electric guitar, amp and lessons.
