Often times in life, something special happens. And we should not take these moments for granted.

We got a call from FOX2 News yesterday about Jessica Cannito, a senior at Windsor High School, who is battling a rare terminal disease. Jessica had a wish and the students at Windsor High, many of whom were not even friends with Jessica, came together to make it happen.

This morning, we were able to make Jessica's wish come true! Taylor Swift has signed a personal message to Jessica and sent an entire care package to Jessica at the hospital. We also sent Steel Magnolia over to Children's Hospital for a special visit and performance for Jessica.

Here's our call to the principal and student who began the effort to share the good news!! And videos of Cornbread on FOX2 News and the visit Steel Magnolia made to Jessica.

 

 

 

 

  • Cornbread and the crew at WIL, Im Katie & I go to the same school that Jessica Cannito goes to. Windsor Senior High. Im a freshman, and this story touched my heart in a way that i can't even describe. I often saw Jessica in the hallways, sometimes in a wheel chair sometimes walking. I never knew about her disease until recently. Im praying for her. And Im sooo sooo proud of Carly for doing this. I think this whole thing has definatley opened our eyes and brough us closer together. Kids these days comlain about the little things in life because they can't focus in on what really matters and its sad that it takes something like this to alarm us. Im not friends with Jessica but she is in my heart forever. **PRAYiNG fOR jESSiCA!**
  • I know I speak for all four of us girls when I say that I really appreciate everything that everybody has done for Jessica. Ever since the beginning, everything we have done was for her. Getting a signed autograph means a lot. But that wasn't her wish. Her wish was to meet Taylor Swift. We know she is busy but if she could only take a few hours out of her busy life to meet Jessica, I know that she will be able to pass away happy. We are thinking about Jessica constantly, and we just want what is best for her. We all appreciate everything what people have done, and hope that we all keep working hard towards Jessica's true wish.
