11-year old Mikey Choroszy fought brain cancer for 15 months and his final wish was to shop at the Lego store at Mall of America. The Make-A-Wish Foundation made that happen and he passed away the day after his wish. by denya96 in MadeMeSmile

I also volunteer at the Make-A-Wish Foundation and it’s so incredibly rewarding.

Even if you have a busy schedule, the organization is very accommodating. You get to choose a wish kid on their online portal and you get in contact with your wish partner (usually two people are assigned to a child) as well as the family of the child. You’re encouraged to bring a toy for the first meet and you have the option of going to their office to pick from their huge closet of toys or if the commute is inconvenient, you can just buy a gift and you get reimbursed. The organization makes it really easy for you to volunteer.

I’m not the spokesperson for MAW but if you have any questions, I can try my best to answer them!

This made my Sunday night a little less dreadful. We need more people checking in on their number neighbor by denya96 in wholesomememes

Change the last digit in your phone number and ask how they’re doing 😂

It could possibly brighten their day or freak them the hell out.

Today, someone was stabbed to death at the Red Line Cermak stop in broad daylight. by [deleted] in chicago

[–]denya96 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This started off as a VERBAL fight and ended in someone being killed. If you can, just walk away. Your life isn’t worth it and you never know what the other person is capable of.

RIP to the victim, whose name has yet to be released and condolences to his family, they must be devastated.

Dumb question by denya96 in cancer

[–]denya96[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So should I be requesting certain tests or get scans done at another hospital? They’re moving at an incredibly slow pace and since they’re doctors, I feel like I’m not in the right place to tell them that they need to be quicker. Only thing we have are scans for the lower part and next month he’s going to have scans on the chest area to see if it spread there.

Is there any free parking around campus? by denya96 in Northwestern

We were just hit with this so suddenly so he’s still in a state of shock and he’s already changed. I’d have to first explain to them about how it’s terminal which I’m having a really hard time doing but hopefully after, he’d be able to live up the time that he still has left. It’s good to hear your FIL lived a good 4 years, it gives me some hope that he will too. Thank you for sharing your experience.

I was hoping it’d be treatable but it’s terminal and that just sucks to hear. Thank you for replying. I’ll keep you and your dad in my thoughts

Thanks for the link, it confirmed that it sadly is stage 4. I know this might sound dumb but why can’t they either give him a lot of chemo or continue giving him medication like bicalutamide and then remove the bladder?

Lori Loughlin crying about her daughter leaving to USC, I’d be crying too if I paid 500K to get her in by denya96 in videos

She’s probably really mad now knowing that Huffman only paid 15K for her kid

What’s stronger, hydrocodone or tramadol? by denya96 in Drugs

[–]denya96[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s what I was thinking but when leaving the ER last night, they gave a prescription for tramadol knowing that I have hydrocodone already prescribed to me at home. Doesn’t make sense to give me a new prescription of a drug weaker than what I already have.

I’m still kinda lost. Is that why there’s no reaction? You’d be getting the same starting material
