Wish Upon A Hero


We all know about wish upon a star. Who hasn't done such a thing? Remember how hopeful we were as kids. The moment you noticed a shooting star, you quickly cried out your wish for a new toy. Or for mommy and daddy to be famous. Something childish. Only at the time you thought it was the greatest thing ever.


Or if you managed to see the north star. I can't remember how many times I found that North Star and thought to myself "oh yay I found it!". Of course I always make childish wishes. That my stepmom was nicer. That I had bigger breasts (yes, even when I was 10 I still wished on those stars).

Now, you don't need to wish on a star to make them come true. There's a place you can go to make a wish, and a hero will find you. No, this isn't some sort of scam. It's all real.

Remember that post I made about the cards Tori received? I made a wish for those. I wished that people from all over would send her a birthday card. I wanted her to feel special and loved. The results? An overwhelming response. All strangers. Taking time from their day to be a birthday hero.

It's not just for cards. You can wish for anything. No wish is too big or too small. I remember at the beginning of winter my electric blanket burned out. My bedroom doesn't get very warm and the heat doesn't work so great in here. We were already using space heaters in the kids' rooms. So no way was I adding to that bill. I made a wish for a new electric blanket. Not even a week later, I received my hero. Some kind stranger spent THEIR money to grant my wish, and kept me warm. I'll never forget her.

Perhaps you need help with a bill? Maybe you just need a little extra cash to take your kids for ice cream. Maybe you need help getting your prescriptions. It's endless.

This place is called Wish Upon A Hero. I dare you to check it out. Can you be someone's hero? Do you have an extra postage stamp and some paper? If so, you too can be a hero! Some people think they need to be made of money to make someone's wish come true. But that's not that case.

Did you know you could be a hero just by offering someone a My Coke Rewards Code? Or even just sending them an email! Wish Upon A Hero (WUAH) has a category for everyone!

Do you have a wish? Have you always wanted to make a difference but never knew how?

Here's your chance. What are you waiting for?
