Testimonials
Dreams & Wishes of Tennessee stepped up and did what I never thought possible for my son, Noah. 5 wishes fulfilled in just a few days! Noah flew on a plane for the 1st time, rode in a limo, went to Las Vegas, escorted personally to the MARVEL AVENGERS STATION by a few of the Avengers and had a whole lobster! This has meant the world to us. All of the surgeries, chemo treatments, scans, tests, and scary reports from the oncologist were forgotten for a while, and Noah had the BEST time! There were many HAPPY tears. These precious memories will last a lifetime. Noah, myself and his brother Sebastian, are forever grateful to Tanya and Dreams & Wishes of TN. Noah’s hope is that other kids can also have their dreams and wishes fulfilled too! He wants everyone else to feel the amazement, love and pure joy he has had during this experience. We love you ALL!
Photos have tremendous power in taking us back to specific moments in life….. Moments that become priceless & precious memories. We enjoyed dinner at P.F Chang’s, my sweet Savannah’s favorite restaurant where the paper inside her fortune cookie revealed she’d be attending a private-for family & friends-performance & getting to meet Kesha, one of her favorite singers. I am just as grateful tonight as I was that night 13 years ago to our friend, Tanya, for making this magical event a reality for my daughter!
D&W is a wonderful organization that puts forth a tremendous effort to bring some type of comfort and joy to children who have contracted cancer. In the hard times that these kids go through, D&W has brought children visits from their sports, movie, and TV heroes as well as presented them with items to help propel their interests such as cameras or TVs. My daughter was granted the 100th wish granted after she was diagnosed with Lymphoma. After going through almost a year of chemotherapy and radiation treatments, the first time I had seen her smile was at her D&W party.
Thank you to Tanya and Dreams and Wishes for our last family trip together. It was a memory we will always remember and one that Raymond needed. If it wasn’t for Tanya, DW and the donors this would have not been possible. He is now in heaven but he would want you all to know how important these wishes are. It gives these children so much joy and is such a blessing to their families. Thank you so much for working so hard to make their dreams happen.
If you could think of your most wild dream and have it come true – it would leave you at a loss of words. Dreams and Wishes have left me speechless with truly the most magical dream coming true. Tanya worked so hard to make my wish come true of going to New York. I got to celebrate being one year cancer free in the city that never sleeps. I got to see and do things people don’t often get to. It was magic and I could never dream up enough words to say how much I loved it and this organization.
Dreams and Wishes made a wish that I’d had for ten years come true! For ten years I have loved and followed Nick Jonas, and because of my very own fair godmother, Tanya, I was able to meet him for the first time. It was an incredible experience and I love this organization with all of my heart. It’s so nice to have an organization to support that is still small and local. They are not a big “franchise organization” and every dollar they make truly goes towards helping everyone get their wish! Now that I am cancer free, and able to do so, I can’ t wait to work more closely with this amazing organization to make other people’s wishes come true!!
Dreams and Wishes of Tennessee made my dream not only possible but the best time of my life! Everything I did was the best of the best! I never expected any of it to happen but Tanya Sturm and all the people that made it possible really outdid themselves! I had the most amazing time and I am so happy that I got the chance to make this happen. Thank you Dreams and Wishes for making me the happiest girl in the world.
Thank you so much for all that you do for these amazing patients and families! I am a nurse with Alive Hospice on their pediatric team and you are truly doing some amazing things for some incredible people!
Thank you for making sure Calyb received everything he wished for and so much more! Even with a last minute time change his superheroes were still able to come along and shop with him! I am so thankful that Calyb has been able to take his mind off of being sick and just enjoy some time watching tv and playing video games!! Thank you so much for blessing us!
Hard to believe 4 years tomorrow for Devin…these wishes give us lasting memories of our angels!
