JOIN US IN UNRAVELING THE STORY OF A WISH GRANTED THROUGH THE COLLABORATIVE EFFORTS OF CARING HEARTS, ILLUMINATING HOPE AND RESILIENCE IN THE FACE OF UNDISCLOSED CHALLENGES.

HERE IS TODAY’S WISH UPON A STAR…

In the vastness of life’s challenges, sometimes a single wish becomes a beacon of hope. Beth’s heartfelt wish upon a star was for her son, Brian, a loving father whose life took an unexpected turn two years ago. Seizures became a daily uncertainty, rendering Brian unable to work, leading him to sell everything to support his family.

Brian, a father of three resilient children—one autistic, another with ADHD, and the third requiring specialized care—is confronted daily with the realities of their unique needs. Amidst this struggle, Beth selflessly relinquished her trailer to provide a home for Brian and his family. However, even this gesture faced challenges, with the property managers mandating essential safety measures—a situation that urged a call for immediate action.

The urgency intensified as Brian faced the looming threat of eviction within 90 days unless necessary alterations were made to their home. The trailer required skirting, porches, and functioning heat—crucial elements for their safety and well-being.

Through the unwavering support of Brooke Communications and Rogue Credit Union’s Wish Upon a Star program, hope glimmered anew. Bobby Geyer Construction stepped in, ensuring the trailer will meet all safety codes by providing the required skirting and porches. Additionally, Roseburg Refrigeration and Sim’s Electric are uniting to reinstall the non-functioning heat pump, ensuring warmth for Brian’s family.

Despite the turmoil, Brian’s resilience remains unwavering. He recounts the onset of his seizures, a time when life was stable, and work was plentiful. Since then, his life has been a relentless pursuit of medical assistance to alleviate this burden.

Amidst these challenges, the Wish Upon a Star program aims not only to address immediate housing needs but also to provide support for daily necessities. A heartfelt offering of gift cards to Sherm’s and Wal-Mart seeks to alleviate their financial strain, emphasizing that this community initiative is more than just about material assistance—it’s about restoring hope.

As the Wish Upon a Star program extends its embrace to Brian and his family, their collective hope and prayers echo for a solution to these seizures, envisioning a future where the burden lifts, and the light of normalcy returns to their lives.
