For Wednesday, who faced big challenges, it was the little things that made a difference—like the peanut butter and jelly sandwiches made just for her. 🥪 “I started to cry because I couldn’t believe that there was this place that existed for us,” her mom, Kelly, said.

When you buy tickets to our festival, you’re bringing hope and joy to families like the Crowes! ❤️ From Johnson City, Tennessee, the Crowe family was led to @rmhcmemphis when their daughter, Wednesday, was diagnosed with B cell leukemia and bacterial meningitis.
