Making Dreams Come True: Adrianna’s Magical Journey

Eight-year-old Adrianna has spent the last four years fighting leukemia, enduring relapses, a bone marrow transplant, and even spending Christmas in the hospital. But thanks to the generosity of Meadowbrook Country Club, Red Run Golf Club, and Walnut Creek Country Club, Adrianna and her family were given a much-needed escape – an unforgettable trip to Disney!

Eagles for Children proudly supports The Jenna Kast Believe in Miracles Foundation, an organization dedicated to bringing joy to Michigan children facing life-threatening illnesses. In 2024, grants from these clubs helped make Adrianna’s dream come true. For one magical week, she wasn’t a patient—she was a princess, laughing, playing, and creating precious memories with her family. After their trip, her mother shared:

“It was better than we ever imagined. Adrianna was smiling every single day.”

Founded in 2005 by two compassionate fifth graders, The Jenna Kast Believe in Miracles Foundation was inspired by Jenna Kast, a brave young girl who battled brain cancer. Today, the foundation continues to grant wishes to children like Adrianna, giving them hope and moments of pure happiness.

A Fresh Look, A Bright Smile: The Impact of Cool Cuts, Styles, and Smiles

For many children, a fresh haircut and a school photo are simple joys. But for some families, these moments can be out of reach. Thanks to support from Grosse Ile Golf & Country Club, The Guidance Center was able to host its first-ever Cool Cuts, Styles, and Smiles event, giving children a confidence boost with free haircuts from local professionals followed by a professional portrait to capture the moment.

This event was born from a simple but powerful realization by a Guidance Center therapist: many families struggle to afford regular haircuts and school photos. By creating a day dedicated to self-care and celebration, the event helped children see themselves in a new, empowered light. One mother of three shared how her daughters carefully picked out their favorite outfits, eager for their special moment. And when one little girl finally got the bangs she had always wanted, she jumped out of the chair, beaming, and exclaimed, “I’m ready for my pictures!”  Moments like these show how something as small as a haircut can make a child feel seen, valued, and confident.

Eagles for Children proudly supports The Guidance Center and its mission to nurture development, foster resilience, and cultivate well-being. Since 1958, The Guidance Center has worked alongside schools and communities to provide vital mental health support for children and families across southeast Michigan.
