I Wish To Have A Staycation & Gospel Concert – Donnika McCollin – 15 Years Old
Children are so very special and so are their precious wishes. On the weekend of March 24th & 25th 2018, 15-year-old Donnika McCollin while a patient at the Queen Elizabeth Hospital was excitingly looking forward to her wish of a Staycation Weekend and Gospel Concert at Fairmont Royal Pavilion with her mum Donna and her uncle. It would have been an occasion filled with lots of fun, laughter, excitement and musical entertainment as the P.T.F family bundled together to plan a Concert fit for a Princess. Then a few days just before Donnika’s weekend wish, we received the painful news that she was now too ill and so we had to cancel her Staycation at the hotel. However, we were still hopeful that the second part of Donnika’s wish could still be granted and so we continued with our plans for her Concert which was scheduled for 25th March, but this precious wish was not to be fulfilled as she was preparing herself for her departure. Sadly on March 31, 2018 our beautiful wish Angel Donnika Mccollin passed away peacefully at the Queen Elizabeth Hospital.

I Wish To Have A Laptop – Janae Philips – 6 Years Old
On Saturday, September 23, 2017, Precious Touch Foundation Inc. and the kind staff at the Barbados High Commissioner’s Office in London fulfilled 6-year-old Janae Philips wish. On arriving at her home, a shy looking Janae was obviously overwhelmed by our presence as she stared around the room hoping to see her gift of a Laptop. After some friendly teasing, Minnie Mouse entered the living room holding a pink bag in her enormous hands and the smile on Janae’s face was priceless, creating an awesome ‘wow’ moment. Little Janae’s wish was to have a laptop. It had to be pink and it had to have pics of her favorite character Minnie Mouse…… Not only did we fulfill her wish thanks to the staff of the Barbados High Commissioner’s office in London (and Capt. Ricky Ellcock of Virgin Atlantic – who transported the laptop). but a big thank you also goes out to Nicholai Payne and Kids World Rentals for always assisting us in making these precious moments even more memorable. Thank you also to our faithful volunteers who attended the presentation and were a part of Janae’s special moment.
