In a heartwarming display of community support, Trademark Federal Credit Union proudly joined hands with numerous other organizations in a collective effort to make dreams come true for children battling critical illnesses. The telethon, a testament to the spirit of generosity, successfully raised over $130,000, providing crucial funding for the noble cause championed by Make-A-Wish Maine.
Make-A-Wish Maine holds a special place in the hearts of many, having granted more than 1,800 wishes for children facing life-threatening conditions. These wishes range from transformative experiences like dream vacations to moments of joy such as meeting beloved characters.
Among the heartwarming stories shared during the telethon was that of Madison, a courageous 3-year-old who captured the hearts of viewers. Madison’s journey began when she was diagnosed with Leukemia at the tender age of 10 months. Her battle against the illness was marked by unimaginable strength and the unwavering support of her loved ones.
Madison’s perseverance paid off, and she triumphed over Leukemia, entering remission – a victory celebrated not only by her family but by the entire community rallying around her. Make-A-Wish Maine had the privilege of making Madison’s dream a reality. Her wish to visit Disney World and meet her beloved Minnie Mouse was granted, creating memories that will last a lifetime.
