From The Desk of LadyFee!
Hello Awesome, Wonderful, Terrific People,
We hope you will enjoy all of the letters, the poems, and, most of all,
the beautiful ads. A lot of time went into putting all of this together;
as you can see we have over 70 pages. Whew!
God has been good to us and I want to thank Him for being so
amazing. He does more than I could ever ask of Him to do and
today I honor Him. He is altogether marvelous and wonderful.
Thanks to all of you who support our efforts continuously and are
always willing to lend a helping hand, some advice or whatever you
have that can assist us with our project(s). Thank you for all of the pennies, the dimes, the quarters, and
the dollars you have donated; as I often say, it all adds up. As of today, we have granted wishes using
approximately $7,500 we raised with our WUAHCAFE and YESIWUAH IDs on www.wishuponahero.com.
I must applaud the Café members and the YESI members because that money was mostly raised
through their efforts. Thanks to Shelley G., Kiley, and Amy who constantly keep our Café store stocked
and give us discounts so we can grant more wishes with items from our store. We appreciate you, ladies.
Thank you Dave Girgenti, Founder of Wish Upon A Hero, for changing my world. You created a place for
my gift to be birthed. I often say that this ministry that I belong to is one God wanted me to do. It was not
by chance or by accident; it was according to His will. This is why no matter what anyone says, I know it
is important to continue to be strong and to keep doing this wonderful thing – Touching Lives, Healing
Hearts, One Wish, One Person, One Day … . (Congrats Team 2/4 your slogan won the “Create a slogan
contest.”)
Thanks to my mom, Mrs. Elaine Robinson, who supports what we do, not only financially but through
prayer and words of encouragement. Mom, you are the sunshine of my life. I love you! Happy 70th
birthday, young lady. I can‟t wait to see you again … more chicken feet please. Smile. (Hush, WC!)
I must thank my Pastor and friend who is my teacher and mentor in leadership. For years, Rev, I have
watched you lead and you do so with patience, with love, with kindness; you go all out to be fair. In
leading this most awesome group of people (247 Wish Upon A Hero members), I have found myself
using the lessons I learned from watching you. You have supported this ministry from its inception, not
just with words but with your financial support. Happy 15th Pastoral Anniversary to you, Reverend Randall
Murphy. Indeed you are the GREATEST. Thank you!
To my sisters, Dorothy, Doreen, Beverley, Carol, Taneya, and Krystal – Thank you for being constant,
thank you for being my „SISTERfriends.‟ You all in your own different ways make my life so enjoyable.
To my brother, Jeffrey, thanks for always believing in me. Having siblings like you have made me safe.
Leon … .
To my best friend, Debs, „ain‟t no mountain high enough‟ that you would not climb for me. You believe in
me even when I stop believing, you dream for me, even when I stop dreaming. Your quiet spirit has given
me so much, you continually lift me up just by believing and I thank you for being my best friend. I have
traveled around the world and back again, your heart is true, you are a friend and a confidant. Thank you
for joining both WUAHCAFE AND YESIWUAH. Most of all thank you for allowing me to Co-Parent our
daughter, Yasmine. Thanks, BFF!
To all of you who have prayed for me and prayed for this work, I want you to know, every prayer prayed,
will never be forgotten. Thanks Chairidee and Kate for always being there to pray in an instant.
To Aunt Yvonne, Karen, Grandmother (Ms Reid), Pastor Edman, Aunt Junie, Pastor Job, and Kenneth:
thanks for always knowing that one day … . Keep praying for me and supporting me and believing in me.
Because of you, I desire to be better. I love and appreciate your support. Lon, two words: Thank you!
To Julie D., who is always filling up our empty cups: it was great meeting you and My Mistimeanor, and
MistiG, along with Dave G., at the WUAH Gala in January. That was so awesome … maybe I will see
you there again this year. Before anyone asks where and when, I am happy to share that the 2011 Hero
Awards date is officially set for November 19, 2011, at the Lowes Philadelphia. Right, Dave? Plan
to be there!
Nicole, Shani, Yasmine, Romane, Khari, Mechi, Isaiah, Hattie, Jadah, Zion, Jordan, Kaiya, Devante,
Aaron, and all of my beautiful babies … because of you, I do what I do … love you.
Lannessa, thanks for always insisting we have lunch each time I‟m home regardless of how busy I am.
Thanks for making me make the time. Let‟s have lunch soon. Lois, thanks for never changing and for
making me laugh on the worst of days. I believe in you so believe God to do just what He said. Muuah.
To my co-workers, Steve, Odessia, Karen, Le, Shenelle, and Denise, thank you. To Essence, I miss
you.
To the ladies who I miss dearly, Chrissie, Steffi, BJ, Michelle, Tanya, and, more recently, Elaine: today,
with tears, I LOOK TO YOU. Wherever life has taken you, I will never forget and I wish you much.
To my staff (I am so bawling, tears everywhere … LOL). To my staff, my girls, my … uh, no words,
ladies, no words … you all have no idea how much you inspire me to grow, to be better, to be more than
average, I love you all so much, Shelley, Mel, Kate, Kim, Sarah D., Laura, Nik Niks, Carla (Happy
Birthday, Girlfriend), and, recently, the other Sarah. I am glad you are a part of my team. Thanks for all
that you do, ladies. Thanks for countless hours spent building this ministry. Thanks!
And now then to the people who occupy allllllllllll of my free time, my WUAHCAFE babies. I simply love
you people. I love you all so much. I love you. I love you, I love you, I love you. Thank you for giving me
„butterfly‟ wings, so that I can fly higher than an eagle, and thank you for being the wind beneath my
wings. Now, why are you still reading? I‟m sure there are some wishes for us to grant!! LOL, okay, you
can have the day off to read this Journal Enjoy. WE DID IT FOR YOU. Laura … No words.
Thanks to EVERYONE OF YOU who took the time to read this long letter (smile), enjoy the Journal and
leave a comment. We will have a mini monthly newsletter; feel free to submit an entry. If you have a
wish, share it with us at: http://www.facebook.com/pages/Wish-Upon-A-Hero-Cafe-wuahcafe-and-YES-I-

Yes, my desk and I really do look like this!!
(I work A LOT!)
Hello Everyone!! I just want to say how very proud I am to be a member of such a fun, loving group of people! WUAHCAFE rocks and so does everyone in it! The month of June came and went so quickly, all I saw was a flash of Friday!! LOL..........So many helped in whichever way possible to raise our funding for the wish granting we all do using our WUAH ID (YESIWUAH and WUAHCAFE) and for that I am so overwhelmed by the kindness ya'll have given. Each one of us (and many other supporters) played a part in making this anniversary celebration what it is!!! I had a blast helping put together this 2nd Anniversary Journal so I hope the final results will be worth it!
"Enjoy the Party and let's get the Celebration started!!!"

Why I Love Wish Upon A Hero by Tiffany Whittaker (Tiffstoyz)
My life has been a struggle. I thought I had it bad.
The bills I had to juggle Always making me feel sad.
Wish Upon A Hero was Brought to my attention.
Wishes big and wishes small Are now my big obsession.
My first wish was granted
By heroes all around. I felt I almost fainted
From what I had found.
There's more kindness out there Than I've ever before known. For all those heroes who care, My heart has quickly grown.
Seeing so many families
That has it worse than me Now has me wanting to please And be the best help I can be.
Wish Upon A Hero –
You mean the world to me.

Kids Defense Team (501c3) was started in 2003 by
Pamela Tomlinson as a way to help comfort children and
teens. Her idea was to supply these children/teens with
toys for a special holiday or to children with long term
illnesses. The idea was to help comfort these kids with a
special stuffed animal to help them feel better on trips
back and forth to doctor visits and hospital stays.
“How can I help Kids Defense
Team?”
We are taking donations which will
go to buy bears and help pay
shipping costs. You can donate new
teddy bears (or any other stuffed
animal) of any size to our Charity.
These animals will be shipped
nationwide to help bring cheer to
lonely patients. It will provide
security and comfort to those in
need. Please consider helping Kids
Defense Team make a child happy
today!
Mrs. Turtle, thank you so much for making my ring wish come
true! I will always hold YOU and my beautiful ring close to my
heart. It's heroes like you who inspire me to give all that I can.

Kudos!
Dedicated to Kate (butterflywing) -- Thanks for the inspiration!
From Kate's Desk: I have been a writer since my "wee lass" days. When I wanted to find a different fundraiser
for the Cafe, turning to something involving creative writing was just a natural for me.
That's how the poetry fundraiser came into existence.
The details and rules were these:
I hope that everyone has as much fun with this as I think we will. My newest fundraiser
idea emerges.
It involves poetry. :-) Even if you think you can't make rhymes, it's okay 'cause this is for
the Cafe and we'll love it regardless. The deal is this: For each original poem submitted, I
will give a dollar to the fundraising efforts.
1. We need to keep it clean (stop that groaning!) :-)
2. Needs to be between 4 and 20 lines in length
3. Subject matter must be about the Cafe in some way...the people, a person, our
mission, the store, and so on... anything Cafe related.
4. One poem per member
5. Entries can be sent between immediately and 09June, so we have three
weeks.
One of the fun parts... there is a "secret mission" connected to this. And there's cash from
Fee involved for the winners. Perform the secret action and you will receive either $5 store
credit or $10 cash depending on how you carried out the mission. That's all I can say
because I know she's waiting in the shadows to pinch me if I give any
clues. :-)
So that's it... write us a poem and the Cafe gets $1 for your efforts. Those dollars, of course,
end up helping other WUAHans so it's a win-win. Plus there's the extra incentive of not
knowing what it is that will get some members prizes.
Who's first?! :-)
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
Thanks to everyone who played along with us and submitted a poem! It was so greatly
appreciated! --Kate
PS. You will need to read it through to see the winner of Fee’s secret action $10 cash prize,
and to find out which two poems received Lady Fee’s star awards.
Ellen H - Godislove WUAHCAFE rocks this way
Granting wishes and talking away Helping others who may be in dismay
Able to make tears go away and smiles stay Friends and family all alike speaking,
Listening near and afar Making people feel like someone cares
In WUAHCAFE Winning Until All Have ‘Ccomplished A
Faithful End
Melissa - Lissa4u2nv
WUAHCAFE is the place to be Kicking it with Fee
Granting wishes is what we do But wait we’re not through
Friends and family Neighbors and more
No wish too big no hero too small Sending smiles
To all boys and girls Lending our ear so one will have no fear
Turning the hopeless into hopeful From day one you will enjoy the fun
Lady Fee
I conceived you when I was excited I bore you when I was bored
I gave life to you when I approved you I loved you when you became mine When Understanding Arrived Here Calmness And Fulfillment Evolved
Tammy - Tammy554 The world is crazy out there
Come step into the WUAH Café
My life was going nowhere
Now I laugh all day
We grant a few wishes
Help a child or two
There are never any dishes
Not for us to do
We send out lots of cards
Always there to vote
Without any disregard
And we never stop to gloat
We have a fearless leader
Who always keeps us in check
No worries as long as we feed her
And when she calls all hands are always on
deck
Cassie - Princesssara A wish has been made
A need has been seen
Hundreds of heroes
Rush to their screens
To their pockets and hearts
The search becomes frantic
Every effort is made
For this wish to be granted
A sigh of relief
From a now settled soul
Mission accomplished
‘CAUSE THAT’S HOW WE ROLL
Brian - Briguynv Tons of wishes we want to grant
And gifts we love to give
Sending so much love & support
Just so another can live
Uplifting words kind thoughts and prayers
For those we see in need
So many broken hearts to heal
So many mouths to feed
Some toys for tots, rent or food
Paying the electric bill
Sending them to Disneyland
However we can help we will
Soaring dreams we help make happen
Fantasies come true
Using only our spare change some days
We are the WUAH Café Crew
Cindy - Cinders57 We visit an unusual cafe
Where Lady Fee leads the way
We indulge in more than coffee au lait
We come together to grant wishes
We'd like to fulfill as many wishes
As there is in a school of fishes!
We can grant more as a group than just
one
Because this way we can chat together
And have lots of fun
The Poem Fee gave a star award!
*Shelley H - Hardinggirl It's been two years
Wow it's been fun
But because we are heroes
We are nowhere near done
We have had late discussions
And yelled laughed and cried
But no matter what happens
We can say that we tried
To the leader Miss Fee
Kate, Carla and Kim
I bet people would kill us
If we told them we know HIM
To the rest of Cafe staff
Laura, Niki, Sarah and Mel
Thanks for helping me out
Maybe Next year Fee just won’t yell
So thank you so much
For changing my life forever
I love WUAH Cafe
This is the best place ever
Pure and undefiled religion before
God and the Father is this: to visit
orphans and widows in their trouble,
and to keep oneself unspotted from
the world.
Way to go WUAHCAFE!!
Lisa Bollinger
WUAHID: Jesussavedme
"Cafe Kingdom" is a blast

Two years down,
It went so fast.....
Congrats to all,
These words I cast....
*Free delivery/wire fee with any
purchase of $40 or more – (you
save $18.50)
Vanessa - Dnv4life
WUAH Cafe what a place
The kinda place that puts a smile on your
face
This is where it's goin' on
Not the kind of place that will make you
yawn
Our goal is make wishes come true
I love to be a hero how about you
We make differences in people's lives
One day at a time
I really hope you enjoy this short rhyme
Kerri - Snowball93
There was a lady named Princess Fee
She created a group called the café
People from all over have joined this place
And for many we have never ever seen
their face
They work together to grant wishes and
play
And sometimes the members say ―hooray‖
Then there are the days we are sent to the
barn
But then we just say ―oops‖ and ―darn‖
Sherry - Sherrybear
The CAFE is a wonderful group
(Though I scramble to stay in the loop)
You can help grant a wish
Or drop in just to dish
Fee and our mods have the scoop
Amy - Amy42431
I know this little cafe
There are lots of great people here
You‘re never lonely here
This cafe helps grant wishes
This cafe has an owner
Her name is Fee
Fee is a great person
So what is this cafe you ask
It's WUAHCAFE
Sarah Mae - Sarahmae
Stumbled upon the Cafe one day
Didn't really have much to say
Started opening up and talking
Loved the fellowship even the squawking
Here for each other through thick and thin
Working to bring out the hero within
We share stories laugh and cry
Praying for friends and those who drop by
Making a difference in so many lives
Faith in humanity is being revived
Thank you to all who call the Cafe home
There's too much goodness to fit in a
poem
Niki - Aphrodite7400
When I found WUAHCAFE I got so
happy
But I don't want to sound sappy
I love my friends I love my foes
Even those who make me say—―WHOA‖
No wish too small no hero too big
A trip a car even a wig
A place to laugh a place to play
WUAHCAFE is here to stay
Stefi - Southdakotanative
There‘s a little space in time Called the WUAH Cafe
Where friends come to meet To ‗while‘ the day away
Everyone is special We all have a wish
Whether it‘s for clothing Or for a full food dish
Wishes big or small
They are all read with love So grab a seat here
And thank the stars above
FOR FRIENDS
Vicki Z - Liljumpinjackie There once was a group called WUAH Cafe
They talked prayed and gave every day
When along came a newbie
Who was not as chatty
And they opened her heart in a new way
Mindy -Puggedbymeeko
Kind hearted people came to my aide
I‘m so thankful this website was made
One by one I thanked each of my heroes
At Wish Upon a Hero, there are no zeroes!
I joined the café in November
I‘m so glad that I‘m a member
Lady Fee runs the show
And everybody knows
Just ask her mods Mel and Shel
All she has to do is ring her bell
Here is where I laugh, I cry, I pray
Wish Upon a Hero Café is where I‘ll stay
Carolyn Paperboy12
I was an inactive member of WUAH
Granting some wishes but not asking any
This spring I was so lonely and depressed
Having no friends except online
I started back on WUAH granting wishes
And asking for some and made some
friends
Mindy and Lady Fee invited me to join
WUAH Cafe And now I‘m not lonely just
making friends
Who I‘m sure will be there through thick
and thin
For this newbie here who needs some
support
Louann - Mommie817
I was lost and alone until I found
WUAH and WUAH Cafe and then things
changed
I soon became so happy and found my
true family
I love you all from the bottom of my
heart
I would give the shirt off of my back if I
could
Hugssssss I love you all
Sarah D – Ladyd800
**LadyFee has made you staff again,
congrats and welcome home.
The cafe is my place
Even though I can't see your face
I know it is not Juztus
But you all still make me want to BUST
I know I am not staff anymore
But I know I will be there again one day
for sure
Brandi - Lovingmy4
Our little group is a wonderful place Full of people who always put a smile on
my face There is always someone to talk and share And who let you know how much they
care
MaryAnn – Bmafly948
My name is MaryAnn
On Facebook I am a fan
Of this group WUAH Cafe
They make peoples' day
By working really hard
To at least send a card
For a grandma‘s birthday wish
Or a kids deceased goldfish
Kiley - kiley777 Turtles butterflies and kitties oh my
We know where to look when the cafe
goes awry
We are friends and family offering more
than just words
Giving love prayers gifts and advice by the
herds
Helping grant wishes and sharing giggles
and tears
Confiding in each other our hidden secrets
and fears
My love for the Cafe will never diminish
For I know our good deeds will never be
finished

When I talk about giving, showing kindness, love and affection for the happiness of someone seeking help, someone who thinks that there's nowhere to turn….when I think of people that are looking for something just to get them to the next day, hour, or the moment…..I think of WUAH, I think of WUAHCAFE…
Fee, I think of you.
You have a heart so big; I see it like the stars in the sky. The stars light up the night like you light up the lives of so many people all around the world.
Congratulations Fiona to your WUAHCAFE, and all that
you do to change the lives of so many. YOU ARE SUCH AN INSPIRATION. Keep it up. Giving is Beautiful. For as long as I can breathe…
With Love,

"WUAH Cafe - A Limerick"
While net surfing for a site to go And you find Wish Upon A Hero Not knowing which wish to pick
Not wanting to make yourself sick Let Cafe help you donate your dough
Cafe is now in a celebration
Raising funds across this great nation And in case you're overseas Cafe accepts all currencies
Just add an extra bit for inflation
Cafe with help grants wishes big time Giving's on hearts and in member's minds
Check most wishes an' you'll see Donations from Lady Fee
And "proud cafe" members all follow in line
I've not won many things in the past
But this one I'm sure to surpass Since I can never say
Too many things bout WUAH Cafe I'm sending my poem BFL - Best For Last
Kristina Skiba - Pheonixreborn
Wishuponahero.com was a referral I got When I was down on funds and up to my
ears in God knows what First wish of diapers and wipes were
granted in full for a few moons I will be forever grateful--it gave me a few
extra spoons A few weeks (I think) later I heard about
WUAHCafe And thought what a blessing I can pay it
forward somehow someway I've been here since October or November
and I can't believe I didn't know The Cafe actually came about 2 years ago Thank you to one and all it is always there
to catch ya when ya fall Always there when ya need a kind word
Or ya just want to act absurd Now excuse me while I go grant
a wish or two I got some mailing to do :)

One day a friend told me about a site
„Cause she knew i needed help but that‟s
when things took flight
I met a lot of awesome people I‟d never
known before
And after a while I was able to be the one
to grant more
Then I was introduced to the Cafe where I
discovered all the posts
Which can make some feel like a ghost
Then I realized to just jump right in
And discovered everyone is just like kin
Then there‟s Fee who does all she can
But won‟t let anyone know
who is the "man"
When she leaves for Iraq I always feel like
I'm lost for a while
Until she comes back online and I see her
again and it makes me smile
Michele M - Mrsturtle
There once was turtle all lonely... She wished for a family, her only....
She discovered WUAH and smiled...
Then found a group called the CAFE after awhile...
Invited by a certain Feebuglet
She decided to see what the buzz was....
Found her a place, a new home.... Now the CAFE she calls home....
Hoping to stay and be helpful.... Trying to reach out even when doubtful...
God knows where she belongs.....
He shows her the way thru the wrongs....
Have faith as she muckles on thru..... Realize her heart is always true......
***The poem Fee gave 3 stars for being the most
creative
Kimberly - Jacobsmomma
Welcome to the Cafe
Come on in and jump in the hay
So that we all can play
This is Fee
Don't mind her she's a little
grumpy
Cause she's been here since 3
And this is Mel
Whoops sorry she fell
She's like that some days
Got too much to do and not enough time
to play
Here is Shelley
She's the one that makes tarts
Even got one named „Monkey
Farts‟
There's also Niki
Her kids have been sickie
But she does so much for us
Sometimes I think she feels
like she got hit by a bus
Oooh, then there's Sarah,
better known as SD
We call her that „cuz there
are more than three
I must not forget Katie Watee
Our detective in disguise
She knows if you're telling the truth
Just by lookin‟ in your eyes
Last but not least
The rest of the family
We couldn‟t do what we do without them
in our midst
The Poem Fee gave a 2 star award!
**Sherri Burgan - Momto4boyz
Down on my luck and feeling so blue
Found this WUAH site but had no clue
I looked and I researched
Read all the rules and decided to go ahead
and give it a try
I got many prayers and offered some help
But one presence stood out and was
always in sight
A group called Yesi and
some lady named Fee
It sparked my interest and I just had to see
I went to the page read all about them
Something inside me said
“I need to be their friend”
I request to join this group
named WUAHCafe
I was nervous and scared, just what to say
But when I sent my intro
oh what a surprise
I got something back that opened my eyes
True love and well wishes welcomes galore
I felt so accepted like never before
It took me awhile to get in the groove
This group full of angels making
mountains move
I started to help and brought
out my true sense
That was lost somewhere
along my life experience
I granted some wishes sent happy mail
Gave my last few dollars to
someone who was sad
Made a little boy happy with
new clothes he can wear
Prayers laughter chatter and tears
It's more than I wished for
when joining here
My life has been altered,
my thoughts they have changed
You lift my spirits every day and I thank
the Lord for leading me this way
Michele C - Butterflymommy
Making friends and spreading joy
Sending gifts to girls and boys
A witty alliance selfless abundance
of love and support
All come together even when WUAH Cafe
funds are short
Lavishing others and lending an ear
Providing loving hearts and listening even
to wipe away a tear
I was about to leave the group haven't
been pulling my weight
A wonderful member convinced me to
stay in so little words
encouraging me to wait
Some wishes go ungranted doesn't mean
that they don't care
Just a word of encouragement can show
that they are there
A bond between many an online
friendship grows so true
I'm proud to be a part of WUAH
they are there even when you're just blue
Please continue warming hearts filling
others with a bounty of cheer
I promise to try and do my best and
I'm proud to say
that I belong to WUAH
I'll try to always be here
on your 2nd Anniversary. Although I playfully
touch you every day….You’ve touched lives in
a very loving and hopeful way. May you
continue to be blessed by blessing others.
Big Hugs!

I just want you and your members (WUAHCAFE) to know how much I appreciate all of you. There are so many great people in the world and Wish Upon A Hero is bringing them together. I just wish I had the time to talk to them all. So thank your HEROES for me. I love that you guys are so passionate about helping others. I spent a lot of time and energy to build WISH and I am so thankful that there are people like you who are putting it to good use.
Gotta run!

Dear WUAH Café,
Sometimes I forget just how quickly a stranger can turn into a friend. Thanks to WUAH Café, I have made lifelong friends. I have smiled when sad; I have laughed „til I cried; and I have cried „til I loved. I have never met more amazing people in my life; normal people who I would have just walked past in the street, yet now they leave their handprints on my heart.
Thanks to each and every one of you for always being there for me when I needed you.
Thanks to all the Staff – always lending a helping hand when needed.
Thank you to Fee for being who she is, as well as bringing us all together. My heart forever belongs to you.
Stay blessed WUAH Café!
Mel,

Dear WUAH Café,
I am so happy to be a part of this Group. Thank you for always giving me a place to come to when "real life" gets to be too much. God bless each of you.
Lots of love,
Nik, NiksNiki, Aphrodite7400
Dear WUAH Café Family,
I joined this Group about 10 months ago, and the first few months I was overwhelmed and quiet, nervous and „confuzzled‟.
Couldn't figure out if I belonged or would be welcome, so I waited and watched and carefully "dipped my toes in," a post at a time and then, before I knew it, I was addicted.
I became part of the family; found new friends, a place I could come together with others to laugh, cry, root on, console, and, most importantly, help others.
I have had ups & downs with you guys, and watched others come & go. I have watched fighting, arguing, hurt feelings, miscommunications. HOWEVER, I have also watched loving, caring, making up, communicating, supporting, and coming together for good reasons and causes.
This to me defines a TRUE FAMILY. Whether it‟s in "real life" or by written word, the Café is honestly a family - a very large multitude of so many different personalities, lifestyles, ideas, and emotions. Amazingly powerful – truly a beautiful thing as we each bring something different that, when combined, makes us powerful.
So, as I complete my first year here, I thank you all for adopting me into your family, loving me, accepting me, trusting, and, most of all, showing me what real family is all about.
Love and hugs,
MrsTurtle

Dear WUAH Café,
Thank you, Shelly, for leading me to the Café. I'm so happy that I joined you guys! You all are so kind, helpful, and extremely caring. What started out as a much needed wish that I made on Wish Upon A Hero created an opportunity for me to get to know and interact with all of you in a friendly, welcoming atmosphere. Some of you have been in similar situations as me and some of you are here to be supportive and offer kind words and encouragement.
Even though you guys are very addicting and I find myself visiting more often than I should (and here I thought going to Special Notices would stop me from the temptation; boy, was I WRONG!), I value the smiles and laughs I get from you every day! Thank you for being there to offer a helping hand or an ear to listen. You ROCK!
Mindy

Dear Café,
I hope where you are the sun is shining, cool breezes blow in your face, and happiness fills your soul! Remember that no matter what you are going through, you are not alone. There ARE people out there who care about you. We may not be there in person but an online support system is just as wonderful.
Life still has a hold on us … we're still working on it. I'm not trying to be MIA so often. I do email with some of you offline and on the WUAH forums. You're all always on my mind.
I hope this note finds you and your family well, I hope you had pleasant dreams last night. My arms are wrapping around those of you who need a hug … can you feel them? I cannot be there in person but I can still send my love and hugs. I hope my smile fills any emptiness in your heart.
I hope you all have a wonderful and stress-free day full of bliss and happiness.
Hugs,
Michele Childress

To my dear friends,
I want to thank all of you for inviting me to be your friends on Facebook and welcoming me as part of the Café. Especially thanks to Mindy who invited me to join the Café. Thank you to all who shared wishes so I didn't have to wade thru all the wishes on WUAH to find some to grant. Thanks to all of you, I have been able to grant over 150 wishes. I still would like to be friends with more of you on Facebook so if you want to be friends with me, just let me know. And to those of you who helped this newbie learn my way around the Café - the dos & don'ts - thank you from the bottom of my heart. I am sure I will need your help in the future, too.

Dear WUAH Café,
Thank you for the wonderful friendship and all we do for others. I never thought an online "family" could mean so much to me, but you are just that--"family." I find it very rewarding to wake up in the morning to check my emails and see all the messages there. Some touch my heart, some break my heart and others just make me laugh out loud. For all of this, I am very grateful.
Even though there are times when I am scarcely on, I do think often of my Café family and hope all is well. There are times when, because of you guys, I make it through the day with a smile on my face when honestly I don't think it would be there.
And then there is Fee: I'm forever grateful for this vision you have set in motion. I will always have your back as much as I can when it comes to supporting this vision; it touches the hearts and lives of so many.
I can't forget our wonderful mods and admins: you have my deepest respect for all you do. I don't know where you guys find the time. “Thank you” doesn't do it justice!
Lots of love to you all, and many, many thanks for the wonderful friendships.
MUAH!

Dear WUAH Café,
The day I stumbled across www.wishuponahero.com, I knew something special was going on within their organization. It is a wish sharing website where you can help grant wishes for others and make your own wish and hope someone helps grant yours. I joined in November 2009; I made a wish for Christmas Cards and then granted other wishes when I could. It felt wonderful to be a part of this community.
One day, a year later, I got a PM (private message) from MrsTurtle:
You should check out our group at the Wish Upon A Hero Café. We are having a blast with over 200 fellow heroes: I would love to see you there :) http://groups.yahoo.com/group/WUAHCAFE/
I requested to become a member of WUAH Café and was approved. I really was apprehensive but in the first month I really started to understand how this Group worked. They join together to bring wishes to the Group and see how they can help grant such wishes. I also found many online friends with whom I can share information, lend an ear to listen, be heard when I need to unwind, and just basically joke around with and put a smile on my face! I have been here about 8 months and I LOVE IT!! The camaraderie is great; the “BOSS” and her crew are awesome; and the fun stuff we do and help with makes me feel useful and gives me purpose. I want to send out a huge THANK YOU to MRSTURTLE for inviting me, LADYFEE for approving me, and all of the WONDERFUL MEMBERS for accepting me. WUAH Café is a beautiful community of friends who really treat you like family!
Many Blessings to the Café and everyone within its community.

Last year, on January 21st, my husband Rich got a knot in his neck. By the time evening rolled around, he could barely breathe, so we rushed to the ER. Two days later, we found out it was cancer. YES, CANCER. The worst thing we could ever imagine. In March, he had his first surgery – to have his thyroid removed. In June, he had his first radiation treatment (via pill); he could not be around anyone for three weeks. July 9th was the last day of that treatment. August 2nd, another knot was found. The cancer had spread to his lymph nodes and was much worse because his body resisted the first radiation. He had another surgery on August 31st; this one lasted 11 hours. During this surgery, they found the cancer wrapped around his aorta and they could not get that out so he needed more radiation to kill that. He got through the surgery fine but had these horrible blisters on the back of his neck and we could not figure out why. Went to the doctor after he got out of the hospital and found out a chemical was spilled during his surgery giving him 3rd degree chemical burns on the back of his neck. He has lost almost all use of his right arm because of this. Second round of radiation started in September; this time it was external beam radiation and took a lot out of him. That radiation was done the Monday after Thanksgiving. The radiation has worked, and he is cancer free now! I had to tell you all this in order to tell you this next part. When Rich first got sick, that first time he was in the hospital, I called Fee. I was crying and upset, didn't know what was going to happen, and didn't know how we were going to go on, as you all state. She talked to Rich for a few minutes, then talked to me, and told me something I will never ever forget:
"Shel, you can do one of two things - Worry and don't pray, or pray and don't worry." I chose then and there to live by those words. If I let myself get overcome with worry, then I am not letting God do His work on us. Now, I am not saying that I never get scared or wonder where we will go from here but I always choose to turn it over to God. And look what happened? GOD MADE THIS LAST KNOT, NOT CANCEROUS! He got us through this, and will continue to get us through this. God gives us trials to teach us and to make us stronger, not to break us. He never ever gives us more than we can handle (and, yes, even I said, “What does He expect me to be, superwoman?”). Rich and I are stronger now in our faith than we ever were before and you know why? It is because of Fee's words and because of God. It’s because we needed to know to lean on God and not ourselves. So, today when you worry, think about this. God has YOUR BACK. God is there for you. God will get you through this. God will never ever let you down. And just when you think you can't take anymore, He is there to pick you up and carry you through it (remember the Footprints poem?). I pray for every single one of you guys, every single day. I pray for God to get you through whatever it is you are going through. I pray for God to give you the strength you need and carry you through it. Just when you think you can't take it anymore, remember my testimony. Remember me saying I didn't think I could get through it either. BUT I DID. AND YOU WILL, TOO. Fee, you told me one day I would give my testimony. Here it is. Thank you for being my rock and showing me that things will be okay. You have never ever failed me nor let me down and for that I appreciate you. I love you and, even though we fight sometimes, you are my SISTER IN CHRIST and I cherish you in my heart every single day. I love you. For everyone reading this, know that I love you and will always be here if you need to talk. I am just some clicks away: send me an e-mail at [email protected] or an instant message via Yahoo Messenger at [email protected].

Miss Fee… thank you for being you and for starting and keeping this group
going. You are one terrific lady... of course you already know that. ;o)
Wishing you all a terrific day and if I get a few moments I will try and stop back in

A recipe or two
from the chefs in our
CAFÉ!!
"Irena Meal" 3 sticks butter 4 lbs thick cut or cubed ham salt and pepper, to taste
8 cans sliced or diced new potatoes (drained)
8 cans cut green beans (drained) (This makes a big batch so you can cut in half.) Melt butter in large soup pot with ham. Cook a few minutes then add potatoes and green beans. Add salt and pepper to taste (I use a lot of both)! Bring to low boil and simmer two hours or so. I always serve this with sweet cornbread.
Steak Goulash Stew
¼ C all-purpose flour 2 Tbsp sweet Hungarian paprika,
divided 1 tsp salt 1 tsp black pepper 1 ½ lbs sirloin steak, trimmed,
sliced into 2-inch strips
4 strips bacon, diced 2 Tbsp olive oil 1 C sliced onion 1 Tbsp minced garlic 1 Tbsp tomato paste 2 C beef broth 1 to 2 Tbsp red wine vinegar
Combine flour, 1 Tbsp paprika, salt, and black pepper in a paper bag. Add steak and toss to coat with flour mixture; set aside.
Cook bacon in a sauté pan until crisp. Remove bacon to a paper towel lined plate; set aside.
Add olive oil to pan with bacon drippings; heat over medium until shimmering. Sear steak strips in two batches, 1 minute per side. Remove steak strips to a plate; set aside.
Sauté onion and garlic in same pan over medium-high heat, 2-3 minutes. Stir in tomato paste, 1 Tbsp paprika, and remaining flour mixture from bag; cook 1 -2 minutes.
Deglaze the pan with beef broth, scraping up bits on bottom of pan and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium and simmer stew until thickened, about 5 minutes.
Add steak with residual juices and vinegar; simmer 3 minutes. Season stew with salt and pepper.
Serve stew with Sour Cream and Horseradish noodles. Garnish each serving with sour cream, dill, horseradish, and bacon.

Dear Fee,
On behalf of the many people you have helped with your generosity, we
would like to send out a huge thank you. Sincere thanks for clothing,
feeding, befriending, and warming hundreds of people in need.
The Cafe has been a place we can all come to when we are sad, hurting,
happy, broken, lost, and found. We ALL look forward to it and would not
have it any other way. The day and night crew, along with everyone in
between, look forward to having you online to talk to us. We look forward to
every moment we can share with you, especially when you are home!
You have brought countless birthday smiles and many Christmas memories.
You have cheered us up when we are sad, listened to us when we need to
talk, and been our sister in Christ. Now if we can only get you to love our
dear little fur babies as much as we do, all will be right with the world. :-)
So today, on behalf of the Cafe, we ALL would like to say THANK YOU.
Thank you for being who you are, for being such a Godly sister to us, for
putting us back together, for putting up with staff behind the scenes, for the
time you give us, for everything you do. Our world has changed so much
because of you, and it's all for the better.
You are not only the Superhero of the year, you are the Superhero of our
hearts, souls, and lives, and always will be. We all love you so much. Here's
to many, many, many more years
together!
From your babies,
THE CAFÉ
WTG Auntie....
When I grow up, I want to
be a hero just like you....

Dear WUAHCAFE,
Today I greet you in the name of my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. I hope you are all doing well and you
enjoyed all of the anniversary celebrations and giveaways. I enjoyed every minute of it – the laughs, the
tears, the clip art, the pictures, the poems, the letters, the gifts, the creativity, the energy, the coming
together toward a common goal – everything; I enjoyed it all. I could not have asked for a better 2nd
anniversary/birthday celebration.
I am totally and utterly humbled by the work you all did. Yes, as always, we had the same set of people
participating but it has imprinted a lasting impression on my heart. I saw Kiley pull Team 1/11 from a low
place to a high place with a lot of help from the team and many hours working on projects (even if the
project ultimately fell through). Two stars to you and the team, Ki. I saw Steffi and Tabbie struggle to get
their team over the goal line. I appreciate you ladies. On many days, I saw Mary talking to herself in
Team 3/5 and thought, “Wow, she never gives up!” I’m impressed by your leadership skills, chica. I saw
you selling things from your house just to get your team to the desired goal; I give two stars to you as
well. I saw Kerri scoot over from Team 9/10 to take the helm at Team 6/8 and, boy, was it a struggle. But,
even on the worst of days, she was pushing the team and never once did she whine or complain. I give
three stars to you, Kerri. The team that made me laugh the most was team 9/10; hahaha, they were
hilarious. We had Mindy, with her quiet and weird wit, and Kristina, who was not only pregnant with our
God child but also had major OCD issues. If the total was any amount with some cents, Kristina’s OCD
always caused her to round the number up to the next dollar amount; it was the basis for many jokes over
the month of fundraising. Then there was Ellen, who wanted to do more but life kept butting in – but she
never gave up. This awesome team, with its fabulous Team members, was the first to meet its goal and
they did it happily; so proud to know all of you. There was Shelley and Mel in Team Fee, who could not
have done it without the wonderfully supportive team and the challenging words of Shellfry and Debs who
constantly kept them in winning mode. Thanks to all of you lovely ladies for a job well done. To all of the
originally appointed team leaders who stepped down, fell down, or were taken down, thanks for all you
did.
I must give a standing ovation to Mrs. Michele McGuire (mrsturtle) who spearheaded FIVE teams and did
it with such grace and style. Your support and love and consistency, even when you had your plate full,
is to be admired. We thank you always.
As a group, you all have changed my life. You are my personal learning experience. You constantly
show me how much work is involved in being a leader. There are so many skills I have had to learn
along the way. You've fine-tuned my listening skills; helped me to work on being patient; made me
realize that I can love you even when … even when I don’t want to, I can love you. Thanks for all you do;
thanks for all you bring to the table. Thank YOU. Yes, you.
WUAH Café, you have changed my life in more ways than I can ever express. You fill my life daily.
There are days when my inbox is empty except emails from you guys; yes, you have kept me company.
You have made my stay in Iraq easier than I anticipated because you are always here online.
To past and present staff, I want to personally thank you for all you have given to the Café because each
of you, even if you were here briefly, did so much. I hope one day we will be able to move you from
volunteer status to paid employees. Thank you.
Catch you all next month.
Love 4ever,
Fee
