The Wish: My Daughter Amber is 6 and her wish is to get a Trampoline for our back garden she has got leukemia she is currently under going chemo every week at Manchester children's hospital Thank you Sam x
How the wish was granted:
The day this wish was received Lynn's friend emailed to ask if there was a wish he could help with. When Lynn mentioned the wish for Amber he arranged for a Trampoline to be sent to Amber. Lynn's friend has been an amazing support to both Lynn & Pink Wishes and Lynn would like to say yet another BIG THANK YOU!
The Wish: Our little girl Maisie was diagnosed with Leukaemia 12 months ago just before her 2nd birthday, the cancer was so advanced she held 94% cancer cells in her blood. We have come such a long way this past year and Maisie still has 15 months of chemotherapy to complete. Some of her treatment causes night terrors and frequent waking and we would therefore like to ask for Maisie's wish to be a new bed. She is currently in a small toddler bed and we feel a bigger more cosy bed would make night time a nicer experience. And there would be plenty of room inside for mum or dad to climb in and comfort her!
How the wish was granted:
We asked Silentnight Beds if
they would like to grant this wish for Maisie. Pink Wishes were delighted when
Silentnight agreed to
help. They offered Maisie The Toadstool
Sleepover Bed - which was the exact bed that Maisie's
parents had been looking at.
Thank you so very much to
everyone at Silentnight - you are Stars! x This is what Maisie's Mum Lisa had to say: I am honestly overwhelmed. The bed is absolutely beautiful and really will be of a huge benefit with the sleepover bed too.... no more trying to fit in a toddler bed! We had looked at it for that reason but having had to give up my career to care for Maisie we simply could never have afforded it. I cant thank you and Silentnight enough. We will keep in touch and hopefully send you a photo when it arrives. The Wish: My daughter has just turned 3 and was diagnosed with leukemia aged 2.5 years old. She loves Peppa Pig and would love anything to do with Peppa and especially to meet her. How the wish was granted:
Pink Wishes would like to say a "Big Thank You" to Howard Salinger from Entertainment 4 Media and John Manning from Fiery Angel who have arranged for tickets to the Peppa Pig tour for Mia and her family, and have also arranged back stage passes so Mia can meet Peppa and the other characters. x
The Wish: Lisa Connell is 31 and she has an inoperable brain tumour, Lisa attended our wellbeing day in memory of Jade Goody. On the day
we asked all the
ladies to tell us their wish - Lisa's wish was to have permanent make up on
her eyebrows (post cancer treatment).
How the wish was granted: We Contacted Jade's friend celebrity permanent make up artist Nilem Patel who was happy to offer her services for free. Pink Wishes would like to say a "Huge Thank You" to Nilam and her team for granting Lisa's wish x To view Lisa's video blog use the link below http://www.lisaconnell.co.uk/video-blog.html
The Wish:
My sister died aged 20
of a rare form of skin cancer. This was a shock to us all, as only
earlier my father he took his life after a mental
breakdown at
just aged 43 :(.He left my mother caring for 5 children the youngest being 2 at the time.
I am hoping that
Pink Wishes
can organise something special for my Mum Candy. Her biggest wish I know is to travel on The
Orient Express. My mum has for over
10 years now worked at the hospice where my sister died and she rarely gets anytime to herself.
If this is not
possible could Pink

Thank you for such a wonderful site. How the wish was granted:
Pink Wishes sent Candy a bouquet of beautiful white lilies - we are still working on the other part of the wish.
The Wish: My wish is to have a brand new Christmas tree this year. I know its summer and yes Christmas is a long way off but its my favourite
time of year and with a new grandchild on
the way it would be wonderful to have a special new sparkly
Xmas tree to enjoy. Laura Cope
x
We received the following email today 29/06/10 from one of our visitors Laura we are very touched by Laura's kindness and have emailed Laura Cope with the offer - we will let you know the outcome. If you would like to view the wishes to see if you can help grant someone's wish click here THE OFFER: I was reading through the wishes and would like to offer the lady who would like a new Christmas tree one of my spare artificial ones. I bought a couple from Argos in the sales and haven't opened them as yet. I have included the catalogue photos but am not sure what they are like in reality (according to reviews they aren't always as expected). I don't know what the procedure is for this type of thing. They are large trees so may not be suitable, and obviously they are quite heavy and bulky, but I'm happy to arrange and pay for courier delivery, whether that be to you or direct.
The Wish:
My wish request is for
my 17 year old daughter. She was attacked in February by a gang of youths in
an unprovoked attack at a bus
stop. She was dragged
into a main road and repeatedly kicked and punched in the body and head.
Much of her hair was pulled out.
She was hospitalized
with the injuries and deeply traumatized. Her head was a mass of weeping
wounds. The youths told the police
they were bored and
wanted to film an attack on their phones. She still suffers from back pain,
nightmares and is scared to go out,
especially alone. My
wish is for her to be able to see a London West end musical as this has been
a long held dream.

exercises to keep her walking for as long as possible. It is her one
independence and although she can only walk a little indoors we

WOW....what an amazing day the children

the show was
just brilliant. Hollie,
Connor and Ellie had an "awesome" time and told me it was one of the best
days of their lives. Thank you from

I'd like to make a wish for my parents and to give them a
lovely surprise. My wish is to have a gorgeous bouquet of flowers and some
chocolates sent to my fantastic Mam and Dad
who have been through an awful lot in the past year. Tragically,
mymy brother Daniel
died last year in an awful accident. He was just
18 years old. Despite my parents own heartache, they have managed to help
myself,
my sister and my younger brother (16) and their 2
son-in-law's through this, and both have been a tower of support for myself
and my
husband since the birth of my son in August 2009.
I don't know where I would be without these 2 very special people and I
think they
both deserve a very special treat to show them how much they really are appreciated for
everything wthey do for us.

The Wish:
I wish for my daughter Olivia
who is 9 to have a new bed. Her broken bed that she has
at the moment, was
given to
us and has biro written all over it, several of the slats
are broken and is very
uncomfortable. More than anything she would love a girly pretty bed. I
keep telling her that I am saving up, but as single mum to her and
her sister Charlotte I just never have enough
money after I have paid all the bills. She is
such a dear little girl always thinking of other
people and friends. For Christmas she has only asked for one thing
and in this day and age I think this is really unusual.
How the wish was granted:
Lynn mentioned the wish to her friends who immediately
said that they would like to grant the wish. They asked Claire &
Olivia to
pick a bed and duvet set and they were delivered to them
yesterday x
The Wish:
My wish would be for me and my family to be able to
go to see John Mayer play this live (and maybe even dedicated to mum) as I
think it would be a wonderful treat and an
incredibly special experience for all of us. He and his music have played a huge part in
helping us cope with what
has been an incredibly painful journey. This is
probably an impossible wish to grant but if you know anyone
that could help make this happen I would be
absolutely blown away. My family are incredibly special and deserve a
treat - particularly
my father who is truly amazing and cared for mum
unconditionally and whole heartedly throughout her illness and the most
difficult of
times. Rose x
How the wish was granted:
Pink wishes contacted John Mayer's management and
John Mayer not only has agreed to grant Rose's wish by offering
her four
tickets to his concert at the Hammersmith
Apollo in January. Thank you once again

the moment after about 5 mins of walking, my legs go wobbly and
it takes great concentration to get where I want, I do
have an old fashion stick, but it doesn’t fold up and it So isn’t cool at

years. He greeted
Julie with a massive kiss and cuddle, we
then sat and had a chat with him.

With every new operation, complication and all the set backs she has endured, Nicky has managed to stay positive and has the personality to care and be genuinely interested in other people. It amazes me that she is so caring about others when she has so many problems to cope with her own health. Nicky is a devoted mother to her 9 year old son Jake, and loving wife to Jason, her husband.
