HATBORO, Pa. (April 2023): Lilly loves to shop at Target, and Kids Wish Network surprised her with a shopping spree that was a bullseye for this Target shopinista. After Lilly opened her Target gift cards loaded with spending money, her mouth gaped open in disbelief. Then came her radiant smile. Lilly can shop both in-store and online, filling up her cart with all the things she’s been hoping for. She was also so excited to receive generous One4all gift cards, immediately spotting the logo of Outback Steakhouse, her favorite restaurant that the card can be redeemed at. There’s also many other choices of popular restaurants and stores for her to enjoy. Kids Wish Network purchased all the gift cards for her once-in-a-lifetime shopping spree.

“Thank you, we appreciate it so much,” said Lilly’s mom Nicole. Lilly and her mom are looking forward to treasured mother/daughter days shopping and lunching together.    

Lilly has PTEN hamartoma tumor syndrome, s/p neuroblastoma and angiosarcoma. When she was two, she had a persistent fever and was having difficulty breathing. Lilly was rushed to the ER, and then transferred to the hospital where testing revealed she had a large cancerous tumor in her chest. She underwent chemotherapy and surgery, as well as additional operations for a tumor that later developed on her spine.

Many Thanks
