The Blair Family - Dallas/Fort Worth

Our daughter Erikah has been in and out of the hospital as long as we can remember. We thought things would get a lot easier after she recieved her liver transplant. However, after countless labs, clinic appointments, and hospital admissions due to a suppressed immune system, we have come to realize that the surgery was only the beginning of a lifetime of specialized care. For this reason, finding the time and funds to enjoy ourselves out as a family would be all but impossible without the Starlight Children's Foundation. Thanks to Great Escapes, our beautiful daughter and 2 rambunctious sons have enjoyed hockey games, parties, plays, and so many other wonderful experiences without my husband and I having to worry about planning it all and where the money will come from. 

Starlight,
So bright,
Makes me feel special
Again tonight.

They take their time
To plan fun things,
Then treat my parents
Like Kings and Queens.

Whatever they plan,
Whatever we do,
It includes my whole family
To be there too.
