Imagine if you had
ONE wish to make, what would you choose? Would you think to use it to help others? For one unique and awesome kid, this is exactly what happened.
In 2014, Alyssa Rooks – daughter of long-time Morochian, Lisa Rooks – was diagnosed with Moyamoya Syndrome, an extremely rare disease that can cause debilitating headaches and seizures. After two back-to-back surgeries at Stanford and through the help of countless doctors, nurses, family members and friends, we’re happy to report that Alyssa has not only made a full recovery but has made it her mission to help others in need.
After qualifying to receive a wish from Make-A-Wish® Oklahoma, Alyssa has decided that what she wants now more than anything is to help children like her who had been diagnosed with a life-threatening illness. Her wish, which came true on February 23, was to build a website that could be a resource and place of support for those kids and their families. Something that makes this wish even more special, is that another long-time Morochian – Jana Corwin – and her husband Jay, were selected as Alyssa’s Wish Granters.
On top of the wish, Alyssa has also set a goal of raising $10,000 through her website with all funds going towards the Oklahoma Children’s Hospital Foundation. Over the past week, Alyssa has already raised over $5,000 and today, Moroch Partners is honored to announce that we will be donating $1,500 towards her cause.
Please join us in congratulating Alyssa and the Rooks family on the launch of the website:
Alyssa.wish.org! There is no doubt that this will become a source of strength and inspiration to many, including your Moroch family.
