Showing support when tragedy strikes.
Raising money to help with expenses.
Loving families in our community.

Tragedy can strike in the blink of an eye.

It can happen to any of us. Donating to Little Girl Wishes can help you show compassion to local families who are unexpectedly suffering through pain, difficult diagnosis, or loss. Your gifts and financial support can help families avoid the unthinkable, such as the following...
  • Emptying a bank account to pay for a funeral
  • ​Not having grocery money due to medical bills
  • Not having a headstone for your loved one

"Little Girl Wishes was created to give our family a way to heal and to turn a horrible situation into something with a purpose bigger than ourselves."

- Tamra Bell, Founder & Executive Director

Our Story

On Sept 10, 2018, four of our family members were in a horrific car accident due to a distracted driver. Our sweet Paisley, age three, went to heaven that day, and our Norah, age six, was severely injured. We are thankful every day that some miracles did occur, yet we still have to face a lifetime of loss without one of our family members. 

Amid our agony, a community, a village, friends and family surrounded us to help us put one foot in front of the other and find a way to walk through our grief. It is not easy, but as a family, we are determined to bring something positive from something so tragic. 

Little Girl Wishes and Butterfly Kisses is a local 501(c)3 created to give to others like many have given to us. We aim to do more and reach more families who have gone or will go through a tragedy or loss as we have. Our giving will come in different forms: monetary donations, gift baskets, secret Santa, and other opportunities that may present themselves.

Thank you for seeing and believing in our mission and our goal to be the hope in the lives of those that need it most. 

Your love and financial support helps families cope during troubled times.

Testimonials

When our daughter Brooklyn suffered a stroke and brain damage- we were left devastated and terrified. Working wouldn't be an option for awhile- one parent must be at home and one parent must be with our daughter at all times. Little Girl Wishes was one of the very first to reach out to us and they provided us much needed support. We are full of so much gratitude and so blessed that they continue to be there for us. 
Little Girl Wishes has been a beautiful blessing to my family. In a moment when our lives were shattered by a tragic loss of our two beautiful girls we were lost without any direction. They were there to support us and to give us hope. To see that this family had turned tragedy in their lives into giving selflessly and lovingly helped us see that we could survive.
