 We are absolutely blown away by the incredible community that rallied around a very special Wednesday’s Child recipient who is currently in hospice care.
When we put out the call to help build a Disney collection for them, we knew our community was generous—but you completely exceeded our expectations! Thanks to everyone chipping in, we didn’t just put together a collection; we created a heartwarming piece of Disney magic. Every single donation, contribution, and act of kindness made this gift truly fantastic.
While this is a deeply tender and emotional time, seeing the joy, comfort, and nostalgic magic this collection brought to them is something we will never forget. You didn’t just give gifts; you provided a beautiful, comforting escape and showed this wonderful soul just how deeply they are loved.

To everyone who donated, shared, and lent a hand: thank you. You proved that even in the toughest moments, love and community shine brighter than anything else.
