Every Child Deserves Comfort
Sawyer’s Wish™ Makes Sure They Find It
Sawyer’s Wish™ grew from this simple inspiration: the joy inspired and shared by fun, printed sheets given by someone who loves you. As a follower of Christ, Sawyer believes in the transformative power of love and charity.
His wish is for no child to ever experience the pain of cancer. But until that day, he wants to do his part to deliver hope through the comforting gift of fun, printed sheets.
Spark Joy.
Give Comfort.
Sawyer Riggenbach is a brave and spiritual eight-year-old cancer survivor who spent five months in Akron Children’s Hospital. Sawyer’s stay began as the COVID-19 pandemic was unfolding, providing an extra layer of stress, fear, and loneliness. Through it all, Sawyer faced the many rounds of chemotherapy and long, lonely days with his signature optimism and generosity.
As visitation was restricted during Sawyer’s hospital stay, one especially thoughtful gift made all the difference. Sawyer’s uncle gave his nephew some new, printed sheets to help make his bed a more joyful place to sleep, play, and recover.
