Dear Diary my Passion is: Making Dreams Come True..

 

cameras and mehome teameric and hannah

 

This story brings tears to my eyes and pain to my heart. It does me good to speak of it as I know I made this young mans last days happy and that made my heart feel at peace for him. 

 

Several years ago I was selected to be the Philadelphia agent for the Home Team a TV show geared to first time home buyers they help with down payment,  furnish the home, and remodel with the help of the Team, family, and friends... I believe it was in 2009

 

During the search, I told them of my son Eric's friend John. He was battling cancer since the age of 19 he was 25 at this time. His dream was to own his own home!  Home Team loved his story contacted the family. His Dream was coming true. He was going to be the one!   DREAMS CAN COME TRUE!

 

Here are some of the photos I took it is an older camera ...John has a tattoo(it has a spiritual meaning) and a bald head.  Rivers bend is in the Torresdale section of Phila.Pa

Johnny passed away 2 years later he was 27 years old .....and married one of his nurses

 

Dear Diary my Passion is: Making Dreams Come True..

 

This is in loving memory of John Wodarsky

 Every once in a while this show does appear on TV. My friends and neighbors all helped with painting and fixing up the condo as did my family and Johns. There were people who gave their services for free Bud Gabriel did the appraisal  Diane Flarety from All Sevice Abstract and Diamond Furniture
