For 14 years, Sharon Hodne served as a Wish Coordinator/Manager for our chapter. As a wish mom, her unique perspective on the impact a wish can have on a child was ever-present in the 800+ wishes that she helped to make come true.

This podcast will give you a behind the scenes look at how wishes are granted and the people helping us fulfill them every single day.
