A STORY FROM OUR AGENCY:
Elijah loves a lot of things most 11-year-olds love. He enjoys spending time with his family, going camping and fishing. He enjoys sports such as football, soccer and basketball. And he loves to be silly and just have fun.
However, unlike most 11-years-olds, Elijah is battling a cancerous brain tumor, which means treatments and doctors’ visits are a regular occurrence for him.
When Elijah found out he would be receiving a wish, he knew he wanted a corgi puppy because he had seen them on YouTube. When he met with his Wish Granters, he already knew exactly the type of corgi he wanted – a black, brown and white puppy. He even had a named picked out, Tucker!
On his wish reveal day, Elijah not only found his fur-ever friend, he also found hope and joy. A wish gives kids like Elijah the opportunity to look outside their illness and restores a sense of hope back to the child and normalcy back to the family.
“It is great to see your child smile and be so overwhelmed with joy after everything that they went through. We love Make-A-Wish,” said Keri, Elijah’s mom.
