3 Little Birds 4 Life
Granting Wishes, Resources, And Community To Adult Cancer Fighters
3 Little Birds 4 Life grants wishes to adults – ages 25 to 55 – currently fighting cancer. The experience-based and daily life wishes include salon days, shopping trips, concert tickets, home repairs, etc. Ashley Swip founded the organization in tribute to her brother Tyler, who passed away from cancer. Before Tyler’s death, Ashley provided the perfect day for him so he could live life as if he had never been diagnosed with cancer: a St. Louis Cardinals baseball game where he got to sit in the press box, meet the players, and enjoy the game. Ashley named the nonprofit after Bob Marley’s “3 Little Birds” song, which includes lyrics that Tyler loved: “Don’t worry about a thing … ‘cause every little thing gonna be alright.”
