BUFFALO, N.Y. (WKBW) â More than 50 Western New Yorkers are helping to raise money for Make a Wish WNY.
âMake a wish was hit very hard because of COVID. We were unable to have our two galas here in Western New York. We also had to cancel most of our summer events, senior manager of brand and communications at Make a Wish WNY Kate Glaser said.
Because Make a Wish is a nonprofit they were unable to receive any federal funding during the pandemic. So they called on Western New Yorkers to help them fundraise throughout the month of April.

Kate Glaser had chalked up her exhaustion to being 39 weeks pregnant and having twin toddlers in the house. She also wondered whether her flulike symptoms were a sign that she was about to go into labour. But when she woke up one morning with a 100.4-degree fever, she called her doctor and got a rapid COVID-19 test.
Two nurses came to deliver her results in the waiting room. They were dressed in full gowns, masks, face shields and gloves. I knew by the eerie silence and the way they were dressed that I was COVID positive, she said. It was an emotional moment; I felt really disappointed and shocked and, as a mum, I felt a lot of guilt. What did I do wrong?
