You’ll hear from six wish kids as part of the Make-A-Wish “Wishful Giving” campaign.
“Our wish kids have battled critical illnesses with courage and grace,” said Leslie Motter, president and CEO of Make-A-Wish America. “Their messages reflect a depth of humor and hope that only they can share. For those feeling overwhelmed or in need of a smile, their voices are a powerful reminder that joy can be found even in the hardest times.”
Here are the kids who will be featured:
- Angelito, age 5, courageously battling leukemia, whose heartfelt wish for a charro-themed celebration came to life with music, gifts, and horses.
- Levi, age 7, undergoing cancer treatment, who reunited with his siblings during a memorable ski trip in the mountains of Colorado.
- Ruby, age 5, a liver transplant recipient, who fulfilled her wish of publishing a children’s book to inspire courage in others.
- Braedyn, age 8, fighting leukemia, who rediscovered joy and freedom through the simple magic of ice skating.
- Vera, age 9, living with a respiratory disorder, who received a custom baking station to pursue her aspiration of owning a bakery.
- Quinn, age 7, facing leukemia, who experienced the excitement of New York City from a limousine and savored a giant pizza along the way.
