Give Kids The World: “Phillip’s Miracle”

Give Kids The World: Phillip's MiracleThere鈥檚 an inspiring story behind every wish family at the Village, and a community with a courageous message to share with other children and their families. Give Kids The World is honored to be a part of this community and we are fortunate to welcome back wish families often. When wish children return to the Village as volunteer Angels, conversations that strike up over an ice cream scoop often end with a special bond of joy and encouragement.

When Phillip and his family returned to the Village, they came prepared to share their inspirational story by volunteering in celebration of Phillip鈥檚 20th year of remission. Phillip first visited the Village for his wish trip in 1994. 鈥淭he time here let us connect as a family again. We could relax and enjoy our time. We could enjoy him,鈥 said Phillip鈥檚 mother, Jodi.
