Dear Sir or Madam,
Thank
you for your interest in the Debbie Chisholm Memorial Foundation. As you visit
the DCMF website you will no doubt be moved by the stories of children for whom
we have granted wishes for over the past ten years. Whether it was Maggie’s
private meeting with N-Sync, Pearl’s trip to Europe or Christian’s swearing in
ceremony as an Honorary Deputy Sheriff, you will realize the common thread is
that no wish will go unfulfilled.
Since its inception, the Debbie Chisholm Memorial Foundation has raised over
$1,000,000 dollars and granted in excess of 330 wishes in the counties of
Riverside and San Bernardino. It is truly amazing how the spirit of a young
twelve year old girl, who lost her battle with brain cancer, has helped to
improve the lives of so many other children. Each month our Board of Directors
and community volunteers visits Loma Linda University Medical Center. We spend
time with the children on the oncology ward and deliver unique gifts guaranteed
to change their frowns to smiles. Most of all we let them know that we care and
are pulling for them in their fight against the serious illnesses robbing them
of their childhood.
Though small, we are mighty in deeds and the children referred to us, by Loma
Linda and the community at large, are our number one priority! Thank you for
your support of DCMF and the kids we serve. Without you we could not accomplish
our mission and our children would never see their dreams come true.
Sincerely Yours,
Sr. Deputy Sheriff Garland "Corky" Bell
Executive Director,
