Paying It Forward IncEddie is bright and lively. He loves basketball, the playground, and reading. He asks thoughtful questions and teaches his younger brother things. His mother passed away unexpectedly in early 2026. A close family friend stepped in to keep the brothers together.
Before she died, Eddie's mom told him she was saving up to take him and his brother to Great Wolf Lodge. She did not get the chance. This wish is a way to make that happen for two little boys who just lost their mom. It is a day of waterslides and fun, and it is also something she wanted for them.
