Gracie’s Spotlight: A Wish That Brought Theater Home

With the magic of a wish, Gracie’s love for theater became a reality, giving her joy, hope, and a stage to shine on.



A Star in the Making

Gracie, a vibrant 7-year-old who adores theater and all things sparkly, has faced more challenges than most children her age. Living with heart failure and awaiting a transplant, her days are often filled with medical appointments. But thanks to the power of a wish, Gracie had a weekend where she didn’t have to think about hospitals—she was simply a star.


A Glamorous Beginning

With the help of Belk, Gracie’s magical weekend kicked off with a VIP shopping spree, complete with a glamorous hair and makeup session. Surrounded by family and friends, she felt like the star she was always meant to be.


A Stage of Her Own

Gracie’s biggest wish came true when she received her very own theater stage, built right in her home. As the curtains opened, her face lit up with pure joy. Surrounded by cheers from loved ones, she stepped into her spotlight, ready to perform.


A Wish That Lasts a Lifetime

This wish was more than just a stage—it was a source of hope and empowerment for Gracie and her family. Now, she has a space to embrace her passion every day, a constant reminder of the community that came together to make her dream come true. Gracie’s story is proof of how a wish can bring joy, strength, and light in the moments that matter most.
