Today we want to celebrate the Dolan family! Kim and Liam, their daughter Sinead, their son Marc, and all the rest from Peake’s Quay who have been helping grant wishes for 20 YEARS!!! They even have their own Wish Wall celebrating all the wishes they've helped to grant. Most recently they helped grant Ty's wish to go to a theme park in Florida!

We couldn't make wishes come true for kids with critical illness without the support of people like the Dolan family. We want to thank them so much and we look forward to granting many more wishes in the future at Peake's Quay!

✨🐱 Happy International Cat Day, from wish kid Dan and Diamond 🐱✨Dan's greatest wish was to have a cat, and this became a reality with the arrival of Diamond. 🌟

After enduring surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation, Dan found immense comfort and joy in Diamond’s presence. From her special way of sleeping on his feet to her cuteness and charm, Diamond has warmed his heart, become his best friend and acted as a beacon of strength through tough times. 💙

Speaking on Dan’s wish, his mom said, “We believe she helped him recover faster. They have a special relationship.”
It is truly amazing to see Diamond's profound impact on Dan’s life, and we wish them many more happy memories together. 🐾
