Wishes granted to three Middle Tennessee children
NASHVILLE (11/13/07) – The Charley Foundation announced today that through their partnership with the Make-A-Wish Foundation of Middle Tennessee, three wishes have been granted to some incredible children. The wishes were made possible by the generous donations of Davis and Beth Lee. The Lees placed the winning bids for all three Wishes at The Charley Foundation’s annual fund raiser, RINGSIDE – A Fight For Kids.
Through their generosity the following children have been granted Wishes:
Omar, age 4
Hometown: Nashville, TN
Illness: Acute Luekocytic Lymphoma
Wish: To have a bedroom Makeover. Omar lives with his Dad and sister, and their home was recently robbed. Omar loves Spiderman and Batman, and received a custom-decorated room designed by Special Spaces, complete with bunk-beds, TV and video game system. Omar’s room was unveiled to him at a party with balloons and cake. His dad, Omar, Sr. said “I was so happy…it made me feel so good to see my son’s face – I was overjoyed…he was so fired-up about the video games, and the bunk-bed made him even more happy. It was the best day he’s had in weeks! Thank you!”
