Fairfield County, CT - During a time when more than 125 wishes have had to be postponed, Jessica “Ragzy” Ewud is stepping forward to deliver hope and smiles to Connecticut wish kids while they are waiting for their wishes to come true.
A Connecticut local, and a finalist on season one of the Emmy Award-nominated “LEGO® Masters” series, Jessica “Ragzy” Ewud has a personal connection to Make-A-Wish Connecticut – growing up, her little brother’s best friend was granted his wish to meet John Cena. So, when Jessica read that, due to COVID-19, so many wish kids are waiting for their wishes to be granted, she jumped on board wanting to help. She said, “That made me so sad. What better way to help than to creatively bring hope and joy to waiting wish kids?”
Jessica is offering three virtual classes to wish kids, each organized by age. The wish kids will be given a creative challenge, which they can complete by using LEGO® Bricks or by drawing. The kids then share their results with Jessica and the rest of the class.
Ages 9 – 12: Wednesday, August 19th 3pm – 4:30pm
Ages 13+: Thursday, August 20th 3pm – 4:30pm
