The beautiful smile shown on his face when he got the news that his wish would be granted on World Wish Day April 29th was a camera moment to behold. After receiving such wonderful news: this sweet, talkative and mannerly little boy kept asking everyone who visited him at the hospital, “Can I get my wish now” and the answer was always “in a few days, just relaxed we are planning something special for you” As the planning got closer and closer to World Wish Day, the excitement intensified and soon everyone was eagerly looking forward to this special wish granting occasion. Sadly on the evening of April 22nd 2017, with just one week before our World Wish Day event, the sad news was given to us. Unbelievable and quite unexpectedly, Little Lamar Goodridge-Howell died at the Queen Elizabeth Hospital. It was a joy to have met this adorable little boy, may he rest in eternal peace. Sadly Lamar Goodridge-Howell passed away on April 22, 2017
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.
