In this episode, Sharon discusses her own family’s experience when her daughter received a wish and touches on her desire to then pay it forward. Her advice for getting involved centers on the human experience:
“Just like an illness is life-changing…these experiences that you and I and all these wish families have, it is again an opportunity. It’s an opportunity to grow and develop into something as a human being. The wish is really the same thing; it’s an opportunity for volunteers and staff and donors to make an impact in a child’s life when they need it the most.”
