FEATURED DREAM:
Help
Joe Escort Daughter Down Aisle
ATLANTA
area nursing home resident - Stricken with Multiple Sclerosis
in his 30’s, Joe, age 58, is confined to a wheel chair which he
controls with his chin.
Joe’s dream is to attend his daughter’s wedding this June in Dallas
and escort her down the aisle. Joe says, "Early in the disease
I was able to raise my daughter. Now, I want to do what any father
wants; escort my ‘June Bride’ daughter down the aisle." Joe’s
warm smile, while talking about his daughter, is infectious.
Joe’s family can not afford the special equipment, transportation
and housing needed to fulfill Joe’s dream and they have turned
to Second Wind Dreams for help.
Please help Joe escort his daughter down the aisle. We’ll be sure
and share Joe’s happiness with you. For Joe and the Second Wind
Dreams Family – thank you!
