Hi!

Today, I successfully climbed 80 flights of stairs at the Aon building! Thank you so, so much to everyone who came and those who donated to support! I really appreciate all of your help. Have a great rest of your weekend, everyone!

Love,
Effie :)

Hi everyone!

Tomorrow's the day we're climbing 80 flights to Step Up For Kids! It's not too late to donate and support Lurie Children's Hospital! All the money goes straight to the family services department which provides art and music therapy for kids that are inpatient. In addition to that, I wanted to thank everyone who's joining me tomorrow and everyone who donated to the cause. I really appreciate everyone's help. I hope everyone is enjoying their weekend!

Love,
Effie :)

Hey everyone!

We're one week away from climbing 80 flights of stairs at the AON building to Step Up For Kids and raise money for Lurie Children's! If you want to join my team, tomorrow by 5pm is your last chance to register! If you can't make it, any donation helps support the cause! Hope to see you at the top!

Love,
Effie 🙂

Hi everyone!

Sunday, February 4th, I am participating in this year's Aon Step Up For Kids where I will be climbing 80 flights of stairs! If you're brave enough to join me, I'll see you there, if not, any donation will help. Lurie Children's did so much for me, this is a very small way for me to help them.

Love,
Effie 🙂

Hi everyone!!

It’s my birthday!! This year, instead of presents, I’d like to ask you to help me give hope to kids in the hospital. If you can, please click the link below and donate a gift or two to the hospital. Anything you order goes straight to kids who are inpatient at Lurie’s.

Happy Holidays to all of you, and as always, thank you so much for supporting me.

Hi everyone! I know it's been a while since I've posted as they're working hard at Lurie's to make sure we do this the right way and everyone is trained on cleaning protocols and such. We are so incredibly grateful for all of you continuing to support us through our journey. We are getting closer to being able to buy more switches and get them in the hospital rooms! We will update you all soon regarding our progress and upcoming events! In the meantime, we appreciate all of your help getting us this far. Once again, we couldn't be more grateful for you guys! Happy Thanksgiving!!

Love,
Effie :)

Hi everyone! Today is my birthday! My biggest wish for my birthday is to continue my amazing mission. As I promised when we started Effie’s Wish, I will share my journey with all of you and keep you involved in my progress. Check out the video below to see my first shopping trip to buy the first 5 Nintendo Switches for our pilot on the pediatric oncology floor at Lurie Childrens.

I would like to thank everyone who has supported and/or donated to Effie’s Wish. I’m so grateful for all of you!!

If you want to help me with my mission, please consider a small donation to Effie’s Wish…even $5 or $10 will help us to be ready for our next phase where we will be buying more Switches (there are 48 rooms on the oncology floor!). Thank you again!

Love,
Effie 🙂

Hi everyone! Happy Thanksgiving! Just wanted to make a quick post to say how thankful I am for everyone who follows me and everyone who has supported me. We would not have been able to get this far without you guys. Thank you ❤️ Happy Thanksgiving! 🦃
