"Encountering Magic"

 

The Make-A-Wish Foundation of Minnesota has been my passion for Leisha Gust for the last 18 years. The Foundation fulfills wishes for children age 2 ½ to 18 with life threatening illnesses. I serve as a foundation ambassador, volunteer trainer and fund raising chairperson. My most fulfilling duties however, are serving as a "Wish Grantor". I love to actually meet the children and their families to see their joy as I am able explain that their dream is about to come true.

In 2005, I was honored to be named the Make-A-Wish Foundation of Minnesota's Volunteer of the Year. In Minnesota alone, we have granted over 3000 wishes. Wishes can range from having a special toy to a family trip to Disney World; be as functional as a computer; or as exciting as meeting a favorite celebrity. Whatever the wish, it is the dream of the child.

Leisha is also an entrepreneur as the owner of Pearls & Lace Bridal in Burnsville. She is a professional singer, speaker and author. She recently published a children's book, "Not All Girls Have Hair". It's the story of a child with a life threatening illness who goes through many trials with her illness and her friends. It has a wonderful message for all children.

Leisha is Married to Micron and have 2 sons Daniel 20, and Jamie 17.
