Hannah Gets All Shook Up at Graceland!
Category : Small Wishes
While people often debate whether or not Elvis is still alive, if you ask Hannah–who was one of the most recent recipients of a Bear Hug–there is no debate that his music still has the power to put a smile on her face as she battles cancer. Let’s here what she has to say after she fulfilled her dream of visiting Elvis’ Graceland!
“Hi, my name is Hannah and I am 7 years old. I have SEVEN brothers and sisters! My Bear Hug was a trip with my family to Graceland in Memphis! (I am a BIG Elvis fan) My favorite part of the whole trip was singing Elvis songs! My Bear Hug made me feel really good.
While these grants are intended to make the life of a child better, they also usually have a positive impact on their entire family. Here is a a note from Hanna’s mom to explain:
“We loved Hannah’s Bear Hug. We were so glad we had the VIP pass – the lines were soooo long & Hannah would have never made it through the day without VIP treatment!
This trip meant a lot to Hannah. She just got into Elvis, so it was fun to show her where he lived & how he dressed.
During our cancer process we’ve had many ups and downs. When Hannah was on chemo she very depressed so when she is off of it, we live life to the fullest and simply enjoy every moment.
Thank you, thank you for allowing us this memory. It was a blast and I will treasure the time we had together there.
Blessings for all that you do for our cancer children!” ~Tanya (Hannah’s Mom)
