“A Dream is a Wish your Heart Makes”

According to Cinderella if you tell your wish, it won’t come true. Sorry Cinderella, but the only way wishes come true is if you share them with the people you love. I thank God every day that Gabby shared her wish.

Gabby’s wish, in the summer of 2004, was that the other kids in the hospital would have their own Bag of Fun. Although her fight ended that fall, her wish was kept alive. My goal is to ensure that her wish never dies.

YOU have had an integral role in fulfilling Gabby’s wish. With your help we have delivered over 12,000 Bags of Fun to children in the fight of their lives. The Bags of Fun program has brought joy, laughter and relief to kids and their families for 17+ years. You have believed in us, now we are asking you to plan and dream with us.

We are asking you to consider a 3-year financial pledge to Gabby’s Dream Fund to help us reach $1,000,000. This fund will be used to enable The Gabby Krause Foundation to sustain Bags of Fun for the long term. The goal is to secure the minimum of the equivalent of one year of expenses for the Bags of Fun programs. This is an exciting time for us as we look to the future of The Gabby Krause Foundation and the Bags of Fun program.

You have generously given of your time, talent and treasure and I am deeply grateful for our amazing community. A community who heard a grieving mother ask to help her 6-year old’s wish come true. To quote Gabby favorite princess…

We hope you will consider sharing in Gabby’s dream.
