At just 3 years old, Bailey has been through a lot. After a life-saving heart transplant, she needs frequent care, making family travel something that requires careful planning.

Bailey loves exploring the outdoors with her family, but she also needs a safe place to get out of the sun, rest up, and receive the care she needs. So, when Bailey found out she would be receiving a wish, a camper trailer felt like the perfect fit! 🚙🏕️

On the day of her wish reveal, family, friends, and neighbors joined Bailey's wish-granting team to celebrate! "It was incredibly moving to bring friends, family, and the community together to surprise Bailey with her new trailer," shares wish-granting volunteer Shelly Williams. "From the decorates to the music and treats, creating this joyful celebration for such a resilient family was an absolute honor.” 💙

Bailey and her family are already looking forward to their first trip—and many more adventures ahead! 💫

Eleven-year-old Jayson lives with a blood disorder and loves sports, video games, and clothes that express his style. When it came time to choose his wish, he wanted something that combined all his favorite things, and a shopping spree was the perfect fit. The wish gave Jayson the chance to choose outfits and gear that felt true to him. 💫

When his wish day arrived, Jayson and his mom, Irma, were chauffeured to the Southland Mall, where they received a red-carpet welcome, and the shopping spree was officially underway! Jayson lit up as he visited his favorite stores, including Macy's, Foot Locker, and GameStop. He picked out fresh new outfits, PlayStation®5 games and accessories, and more. 👟🕶️🎮

Jayson’s wish-granting volunteer Olga Borjon shared, “He was very excited and enjoyed the shopping experience very much!” 💙

Thank you, Kimberlee Swig and Family, for generously adopting Jayson's wish!

This , we’re celebrating the connections that bring comfort when it’s needed most. 💙

For wish kid Victoria, that meant being reunited with her pet Pomeranian—her best friend she had to say goodbye to when she traveled far from home for medical treatment.

Her wish to reunite with her furry friend brought back joy, renewed her strength, and gave her a piece of home during a time of uncertainty. 🐶

“After so much pain, my daughter deserved a break. Today we won, and this triumph gives us hope again. Thank you for making it possible.” – Victoria’s mom, Laura

At 10 years old, Ben was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia. As he underwent chemotherapy, Ben and his family learned he would be eligible for a wish. His thoughts immediately turning to baseball, Ben wished to meet his hero, legendary San Francisco Giants catcher and hitter Buster Posey. ⚾💫

In 2017, Ben had a once-in-a-lifetime day at the ballpark, where he met Posey and even took the mound for the first pitch! For Ben and his family, his wish brought joy during one of their hardest moments, and its impact still resonates today.

“We got to just be a family at a baseball game,” Ben's mom, Wendy, says. “It's been almost ten years, but we still talk about it like it was yesterday. We still can’t believe it happened.” 💙
