# 119 The Biggest Fan...




When we spoke to Sherry about her Wish, we were not surprised to learn that it was to attend a Toronto Maple Leafs game. Sherry is just about the biggest Leafs fan you have ever met. Her room is filled with memorabilia, and she has a stuffed Carleton the Bear.  

 

Although Leafs tickets are hard to come by, The Living Wish Foundation has the best supporters. We called out to our community, and we had our tickets within no time. Season ticket holder Kevin Swain contacted us, offering to donate a pair of tickets. We shared with him that we needed the tickets to be accessible seating, and we needed them to be ready as soon as possible. Kevin called his account rep, worked his magic, and voila, we had ground-floor accessible seats for the following week! Wanting to make the night as memorable as possible, Kevin said he would see what else he could arrange for Sherry.  

 

Before the game started, Kevin presented Sherry with a gift bag filled with Leafs swag. Sherry was thrilled. Then Carleton the Bear came over for a hug with Sherry. And if that wasn’t enough, then the legendary Darryl Sittler popped by for a visit, a photo, and to sign Sherry’s jersey!  And to top it all off, the Leafs won the game in overtime!  

 

What an incredible community of supporters we have. When we come together to lift each other up, beautiful things happen. Our hearts are so full!
