running over, will be poured into your lap. For with the measure you use, it will be

measured to you.”

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!

Page 9: Yes INdeed and WUAHCafe 2nd Anniversary Newsletter - 2011

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-

If I didn‟t mention you by name, Steffi (Happy Birthday today), Tash, Roses, and Tasha, and

Take care and enjoy.

Many Blessings,

Fiona Marcia Robinson, LadyFee

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!

Dedicated to Kate (butterflywing) -- Thanks for the inspiration!

Page 22: Yes INdeed and WUAHCafe 2nd Anniversary Newsletter - 2011

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

Page 24: Yes INdeed and WUAHCafe 2nd Anniversary Newsletter - 2011

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

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

Page 29: Yes INdeed and WUAHCafe 2nd Anniversary Newsletter - 2011

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

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,

Jack Liles

WUAHCAFE and YESIWUAH will have my support.

"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 :)

Mandy-Mandyhl2971

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

Page 39: Yes INdeed and WUAHCafe 2nd Anniversary Newsletter - 2011

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

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,

Page 49: Yes INdeed and WUAHCafe 2nd Anniversary Newsletter - 2011

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.

Page 51: Yes INdeed and WUAHCafe 2nd Anniversary Newsletter - 2011

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.

by Shelley (Hardinggirl)

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].

Wow, it's been two years. WOW. You guys have changed my life for the better

in so many ways. I actually have something I look forward to. Fee, you are my

best friend, my sister and my savior when I need you the most. Thanks for

putting up with my "brain freezes" for the past two years (and the next ten).

I could not imagine my life without you guys. You guys are my saving grace,

much or been very active, I appreciate knowing that

at any moment I can post something and there are

wonderful people that will read that post and care

enough to send a thought, prayer, or some laughter

Just wanted to stop in and say Happy 2nd Anniversary to everyone. Haven't

been here lately with so much going on, but wanted to say how thankful I am for

all of you. I am so glad that I found this group almost 2 years ago. You all are one

amazing group of people and I love all of you. I know there are many who have

joined the group since I have been away and I just want to welcome you all. I am

known as Maaaaaaaaaaa. I am hope one day soon things will calm down here

and I can rejoin you all on a regular basis. I miss you all...

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

sometime today. Sure would like to have some of those "wings and swiss rolls". I

might even bring some "pig ears".

Love and hugs to you all, Maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

A recipe or two

from the chefs in our

CAFÉ!!

Page 64: Yes INdeed and WUAHCafe 2nd Anniversary Newsletter - 2011

"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

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
