A Disney Adventure for a Family in Need
We received a submission to our Dream Grantor Program from a good friend of Ponderosa High School coach and mentor, Chic Bist. In the submission, we were told that Chic, who is currently experiencing severe health issues, is a “pillar in our community who endlessly gives to everyone around him.” Because of Chic’s dedication to the students and his community, Dr. Kaufman felt Chic was very deserving of some time away with his own family – his teenage daughter and wife. We were more than happy to arrange for Chic and his family to visit the happiest place on earth and create the memories of a lifetime, Disneyland!
We received the following note from the Bist Family after their trip:
Dr. Kaufman ,
I just want to thank you and your staff for sending me, my wife and my daughter to Disneyland. It was a trip I will never forget. My daughter had the time of her life, and we couldn’t ask for better weather.
Thank you very much from the bottom of my heart for making this wish I had to take my daughter for her very first time to Disneyland come true.
Not knowing what the future has in store for me it was a trip we will cherish for the rest of our lives.
Thank you for your kindness and generosity.
Sincerely,
Chic, Holly and Hope Bist
A Friend in Need
Shortly before Christmas this last year, we received a submission to our Dream Grantor Program from a woman who wanted to bring the needs of her good friend forward. In her submission, she informed us of a local woman and mother of five, who in October, had her world turned upside down when her husband was in a bad car accident that left him paralyzed from the chest down, making her the sole provider for their family. As a result of this recent tragedy, the holiday season was put on hold, so their family could focus on paying medical bills and other everyday costs.
Undoubtedly, Dr. Kaufman was honored to give this wonderful family the Christmas they so deserved and per mom’s request, provided them with gift cards to their favorite stores, so the kids could have some fun and enjoy the holiday season.
A Night at the Ballpark
Christina and Joey have three children, including their 18-year old son, Joseph who lives with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD). DMD is a recessive x-linked form of muscular dystrophy affecting young males and results in rapid muscle degeneration. For this reason, Joseph is in a wheelchair and completely dependent on his parents for everything from taking a bath to scratching an itch. Even more, Christina and Joey both work full-time and somehow juggle the day-to-day tasks with no additional help to take care of Joseph and the rest of their family.
Undoubtedly, this hard working and loving family deserved some fun and excitement and because Joseph is a huge Rivercats fan, we were happy to provide them a night at Raley Field for “Pirate and Princess Night”!
