Liana learns to cook authentic foods in Hawaii

Ever since she was diagnosed with leukemia, Liana has used baking and cooking as an outlet.  “My favorite food to cook is pasta and my favorite food to bake is cake,” Liana said.   Liana would stay in the hospital for a full week when she was first diagnosed. “After some time, it went down to three times a week, then twice a week, then we were going once a week for two-and-a-half years. Finally, that went down to once a month and now we are no longer in treatments,” said Liana’s mom, Mazal.  When Liana’s oncologist referred the her for a wish, the family knew Liana would choose something to do with baking, but she also loves swimming. That’s when Liana decided on her wish - to learn to cook authentic foods in Hawaii! ***********************************************************We are on a mission to raise $10,000 for Make-A- Wish Foundation ARIZONA, so for every house we sell this year we are donating a portion of our income to them.

Jailene's playhouse gives her a second home

  Knock, knock – who’s home? Jailene – whose wish to have her own backyard playhouse, complete with kitchen set and covered porch, was granted this summer to her overwhelming happiness. “Jailene loves to be outside and to play outside whenever she can,” said mom Ana. “She has a kitchen that she plays with on our porch but this is going to be so much better.” “Jailene’s wish – a small playhouse, with windows, doors, chimney, and a front porch complete with flowers – is all done up in Jailene’s favorite color, pink! She and her mother picked out the playhouse from a catalog of options from Enrique’s Little Town playhouses, an Arizona-based, family-owned playhouse builder who finished the construction and installation in only two days. Jailene put in a special request for a mailbox and her letter “J” on the front.  “We hung a sheet on the door so she couldn’t look out for the last two days, but she did try to peak a couple of times when she heard the hammering,” said Ana. Ana and the team from Enrique’s got to see Jailene’s joy when she finally was able to step inside the playhouse for the first time. “I’m going inside, are you coming?” Jailene asked all her visitors on her wish day. She used the shopping cart that was provided as an enhancement to bring her all the new play dishes and the real snacks that were also part of the fun into her new kitchen. She didn’t even seem to mind the tube on her face, required for her treatment for leukemia, or the 115 degree heat of the day, which she ignored to continue her perfect afternoon.  “Knock knock, who’s there,” she said while trying the front door to get her mom and brother inside. “I’ll wash them,” she said while organizing her new plates, bowls, cups and utensils in her new kitchen set.  Ever the good host, she also offered up tea and snacks to her guests. Eventually, the heat got to her family and guests and they tried to get her to take a rest inside before coming back out to her house but she was quick to head for the door of her house before being convinced. “Let’s go inside my house,” she said, opening the door and welcoming everyone in. “It’s a good time to play.”  "I'm going inside, are you coming?"
