A Make a Wish update--our "wish kid" and his family are getting ready for their trip. He was overjoyed and kept saying "I like it, I love it!" He is six years old and one of the happiest little boys I've ever met. In the picture below, here he is with my daughter. You can see from her expression how rewarding it is to see these children get their wish. He is wearing sunglasses because he thought he looked more grown up with them. He was so adorable!

How could you not want to make his wish come true! He's a cool dude with those sunglasses. Kudos to you for supporting this incredible program.

I am so glad he has his wish! I wonder where he wished to go (Disneyland/world)?
Make a Wish is a wonderful foundation. They granted two of our family members (a brother and sister) their wishes. Our great-niece wanted a trip to Hawaii for the family and her brother, who is older, wanted his truck equipped so he could drive and load and unload his wheelchair. They both have Fredrick's Ataxia. (may be misspelled)
Best wishes to this little fellow and for your daughter, and others like her, involved in granting their wishes.-Toogie

He wished to go to Disney World in Florida. This little guy has a bone marrow disease. He has such a joyful outlook, and you just can't help but smile around him.

There was another wish kid in the news this week. Wow! His wish was to ride the garbage truck for a day! (So much cheaper than Disney.) He looked very happy in the truck.

It is hard for some kids to even know what their "one true wish" is, but then others know exactly what they want. We haven't done a whole lot of reveal parties, but every one has been so rewarding, and the children and their families have all been so wonderful. Makes my heart full.

We receive much more than we give, that's for sure. I've met some wonderfully brave children and their families.

Thank you--we don't do as much work as it sounds like--mostly we just plan the party where the child finds out that their wish has been granted. The Make a Wish Foundation does all the work of planning the actual wish, down to the smallest detail.
