Quail Park on Cypress Helps Make Child's Wish Come True

When the residents and team members at Quail Park on Cypress learned about 5-year-old Isla's heartfelt wish to visit a sunny beach in Florida with her family, they were inspired to take action. Partnering with the Make-A-Wish Foundation of Central Coast and Southern Central Valley, the senior living community hosted a fundraising event to help make Isla's dream a reality.

On June 20, Quail Park hosted "Sip & Savor: A California Wine & Craft Brew Experience," a special event designed to raise funds for Isla's wish. During the event, representatives from Make-A-Wish presented Isla with a ceremonial check symbolizing the fulfillment of her wish. The more than $2,000 raised at the event went directly towards supporting Isla's upcoming trip.

Isla, an energetic and creative five-year-old from Exeter, loves swimming, arts and crafts, and spending time with her four siblings.

Her journey has not been easy - she battled a life-threatening bacterial infection that led to multiple organ failures and a three month hospital stay. Her recovery has been slow and ongoing, with many medical appointments and surgeries.
