Ashley Nicole Newman (1997-2022) is the inspiration for our Princess Video Program for AHC Warriors. It only makes sense that we dedicate the program to her…. Our first hospital princess visit. The first other AHC family I had ever met with my daughter, Dallas’ same diagnosis #alternatinghemiplegiaofchildhood. This beautiful princess is so greatly missed by her family. We remember her and honor her by creating the AHC Princess Video Program in her name.I was so honored and fortunate to visit Ashley & her family in hospice as she ended her fight with AHC and crossed over the rainbow bridge. Snow White crowned her a princess, read her stories, and sang to her on her journey over the rainbow… I will never forget this incredible honor to meet her in the end of her journey with AHC. The love and kindness of her parents, Karen & Steve. The warmth of her hand and the change in her breathing when I sang. The reality of AHC and how much it steals from our kids. The need for joy in our community. 💖Currently, we make 10 premium videos for AHC Warriors each month, free of cost to their families. We celebrate birthdays, milestones, and achievements. We encourage when hard episodes and seizures and hospital stays come. We crown our warriors princess, read stories and sing songs….all with the hope of bringing JOY to these amazing kids. Kids like Ashley. Kids like my Dallas. And we hope to expand this program to children with any diagnosis… as we grow and raise funds and eventually make our journey to nonprofit status. 🫶 Keep your eyes peeled for opportunities to give toward our efforts in the coming weeks!✨

It’s been quiet on this page for a few weeks. I’m excited to share what I’ve been working on in my time outside being a #medicalmama & #inclusiveprincess!
I’m honored to be a part of the incredible cast of Man of La Mancha at @mththeater at @crowncenter in KC! Runs Oct 6-23. Come check it out! @nilkoandreas is astounding as Don Quixote, playing flamingo guitar throughout the show which is done in collaboration with @ensembleiberica. It has been such a wonderful experience to be back on the big stage!
The icing on the cake has been recruiting some of the cast to be actors for @wishcometrueco characters!!

✨After trying to explain this at a specialist doctor appointment last week and seeing her reaction, ha! 🤣🎭 I come from an arts family, have a BFA degree and have spent the majority of my life working as an actor, teacher & singer… I knew I was going to major theater in college so I didn’t even take Chemistry in high school… you do not want me working on genetic research! Ha! So I give back how I know how! 🎵 Singing to kids, looking them in the eyes and making them feel special. Presents, games, crafts, treats, stories. I’m not good at everything but I can do this!! 🧬 I am connected with the @ahckids foundation and I’m so excited that I have the opportunity to do a FREE Princess Pop-Up for our #ahcwarriors next month at the AHC KC Family Meet-Up next month!! 🧬 Wish Come True Co.
✨I love creating magical experiences to make a child’s wish come true! Transforming into new characters is my jam! ✨Birthday parties ✔️Princess Pop-Ups ✔️Virtual visits ✔️Home visits ✔️Hospital visits ✔️And adding new characters and diverse performers every day! 🙌🙌🙌🙌Magic is for everyone! #inclusivemagic #inclusive #representationmatters #princess #disneyprincess #nontraditionalprincess #magicforeveryone #magicisforeveryone #princessparty #princessesforeveryone #sensoryprocessingdisorder #autism #raredisease #inclusionrevolution #diverseprincess #superhero #magicathome #virtualprincess #advocatelikeamother #medicalmama #medicallycomplex #disabilityisnotabadword #specialneeds #inclusivesuperhero #inclusionrevolution #inclusionmatters #inclusiveeducation #youaremadeofmagic #inclusiveperformingarts
🤍Unpopular opinion: Snow White is my FAV! 🤍 I know, I know. Everyone wants the ❄️Snow Queen❄️ not Snow White! But let me tell you a few reasons why Snow is my fav! 1. This one is obvious… Snow is the princess I most resemble so it’s easy for me to transform! Snow is also the first princess I played! 2. Snow is one of the few “classical” princesses. Fun fact about me - I was classically trained as a soprano starting at 12 years old. (Michael Straw & Harry Morrison, this one is for you!) 3. Snow White was the first full length 🐭 film, released in 1937! I’m a vintage girl at heart. ❤️ 4. She’s the animal princess!! Snow and I share a love for animals and nature! During production, a variety of live animals were there for animators to reference. Give me all the bunnies! 🐇 5. Adriana Caselotti, the voice of Snow, was forbidden to tell anyone that she was Snow in order to make the movie seem more real. Adriana came from a family of opera singers. She was only 17 when she recorded Snow White. She didn’t get the credit and she went unnoticed and unrecognized. So I like to give Snow the credit she deserves! ❤️.👸👸🏽Who is your favorite princess? I’m adding new characters every month! And if you wondered if any male or characters of color will be a part of @wishcometrueco? You bet!!! That is in the works… 🫶#snowwhite #classicalsoprano #opera #wishcometrueco #princessmagic
✨SNEAK PEEK into Princess Magic at Home!✨I had so much fun making this video for the sweetest little girl who was hospitalized at the time. My daughter and I have truly been there - in the NICU, PICU, EEGs, MRIs, procedures, we’ve done it. (And prepping to do it again in a month.) Those times can feel so heavy and hard and emotional - for everyone, caregivers & siblings included! Just a tiny bit of 🫶 JOY went so far for us - child life bringing in a new toy, free cookies in the break room, a special music therapy moment. These are the things that make our hospital stays bearable. I’m available to visit kids in any of the KC area hospitals (in accordance with visitor policies) and to send videos/zoom! I’ll be sharing more about our medical advocacy/journey in the next few days. Feel free to PM me to start planning a ✨magical joy-boost✨ for your child! Hospital or home, school or clinic, video or bedside, I’m here to bring JOY with a personalized touch. 🫶 Wish Come True Co.
