Wagon ​Giveaway

For Pediatric Oncology ​Patient Families

Our first wagon fleet delivery to UF Health Shands pediatric oncology ​inpatient families made possible through the generous contributions of ​Buy A Tree Change A Life- Newberry!

Just after turning 3 years old, Rhet was diagnosed with a ​soft tissue sarcoma. After completing almost the entire ​primary treatment plan including multiple chemotherapy ​drugs and proton radiation, the follow-up scans ​determined Rhet had relapsed. After switching ​treatment plans and having only one round of chemo ​left of the second treatment plan, check-up scans ​showed another relapse.

We had stepped into the journey with faith, but this ​season is when what we knew about faith was rocked to ​the core and completely transformed. In a series of ​events that were far from what we expected, we ​allowed the Lord set up a more beautiful story of ​healing and restoration than we could have ever ​imaged!

When all the odds were against Rhet's life by every ​medical account, our God proved He is still in the ​miracle business! Rhet is healed and healthy. He is ​truly a walking miracle.

We love to share this inspiring testimony. Whether a ​church event, youth function or classroom ​conversation, this family is ready to talk. For booking ​inquiries, please contact us here.

In the early days of Rhet's diagnosis, a neighbor and ​dear friend wheeled a red wagon into Rhet's hospital ​room. This wagon was overflowing with all of the ​things we didn't even know we needed. We were in ​survival mode, as to be expected. In an effort to ​bring us some comfort and support, this friend ​ministered to us in a tangible and practical way. It ​made such a lasting impact! We have expounded ​upon her gesture to help show our support to other ​families who are in similar situations.

We understand the burden of being away from home and the discomforts of longterm ​hospital living. The wagons fold up for easy transport and are filled with a variety of comfort ​care items and other practical things we believe can be helpful during extended hospital ​stays.

We currently service the UF Health Shands Hospital pediatric oncology unit and the Ronald ​McDonald House Charities of North Central Florida with plans to expand to Jacksonville ​soon. Please contact us if you're interested in receiving a wagon or would like to nominate a ​patient family to receive one.

Rhet's big sister Raelyn is the heart behind "Rae ​of Sunshine."

During the countless hospital stays, the bleak ​walls of those rooms were often decorated with ​Rae’s masterpiece creations, always bringing us ​a little bit of sunshine during some of our ​darkest days. Crafts were also one of the fun ​ways Rhet and Raelyn would pass the time ​during long days of being stuck in a bed or ​infusion chair.

"Rae of Sunshine" craft boxes are included in ​each wagon and are filled with supplies ​handpicked by our own little artist.
