families served

wiltz family

Mission 212 Foundation was humbled to serve the Wiltz family—Paul, Jennifer, Josie, and Tristan—as they navigated the challenges of Paul’s colon cancer diagnosis. With the weight of medical expenses and the strain of everyday responsibilities, our goal was to step in with encouragement and support during a season that felt overwhelming.

Because of Paul’s background and line of work in video production, we were honored to gift him a drone—something he was excited to use both creatively and as a way to spend meaningful time with his son. Through the generosity of supporters, we also provided opportunities for family fun—helping the Wiltzes enjoy a photo session, Main Event passes, and Science City passes. Though they weren’t able to take their planned summer vacation due to Paul’s health, these experiences created special days of laughter, connection, and memory-making right at home. Even more meaningful, part of this support also extended to another family facing a cancer journey, multiplying the impact of what was given.

It was our honor to come alongside the Wiltz family and create space for joy and togetherness in the midst of hardship. We are deeply grateful to them for allowing us to be part of their story and remain committed to helping families find hope, relief, and treasured memories in difficult times.
