It's Friday!!! YAAY! We have a busy Santa filled weekend and I am so excited.
This is going to be a quick post and kind of time sensitive, but I wanted to push for something going on right now that I think is AMAZING and very special.
So 99.5 WZPL is currently having a request-a-thon for Make-A-Wish. This is their 21st year doing it and each year I have listened I get really invested and am amazed by all they do. They are on the radio for 36 hours and it started yesterday at 6am. You can call in and make a donation and you get to request any song you want for your donation! It has been really cool listening to all the different music as well as the stories. Last year they raised about $700,000 and this year they are looking to do more.
If you can, listen to it. And maybe donate? For people out of state you can google it and listen live online. It's amazing. I am humbled by how giving people are so close to the holidays. But these children deserve it. Make-A-Wish is for children with life threatening illnesses. And they can make any wish. There have been some amazing ones. Disney World, a service dog, a trip to a pineapple farm, even one kid who just wanted to give presents to all the kids at the hospital.
These kids have an amazing spirit despite all that they are going through. Lots of them go on to raise money for years to come to help other children get their wish. It is truly a great event. You get to hear amazing stories and there is definitely crying, but all I can say is WOW.
They have about 8 hours left. Please listen. If you can, please donate. You can do it online at wzpl.com, you can call, you can venmo, you can text wish to 27722 for a $5 dollar donation, you can be set up on a monthly plan. There are a lot of options. If anything just listen. It will definitely just change your perspective on life. At least it does mine.
Have a great weekend!
