Happy !

Micah has always loved movies and the way they immerse him in different worlds. But they became even more important when he was diagnosed with lymphoma last spring. “When I was diagnosed with cancer, one of the ways, you know, I got through that was just watching movies with my family,” Micah said to The Journal, Martinsburg, WV. “And that was something we all did together and we've always loved doing.”

So, when he qualified for a wish, Micah asked for a home theater. 🍿 “I wanted something that we could use for years to come and that we all could just enjoy and use together,” he said.

Micah's wish came to life with a ribbon-cutting ceremony earlier this month, and none of it would have been possible without the help of W. Harley Miller Systems, which generously donated its expertise and services to design and install the home theater system. 📽️✨ Make-A-Wish provided the sound system, acoustic paneling, projector and seating, and W. Harley Miller Systems took care of the rest, providing construction materials, labor and enlisting donors for other key items.

We are so grateful for everyone who came together to make Micah's wish come true, and we hope he enjoys countless hours of cinematic joy in his special space. ☺️❤️

Maurice’s wish takes flight! ✈️

Born with a blood disorder, Maurice has spent much of his life in treatment, but he never stopped dreaming of becoming a pilot.

With the help of his community, that wish took off. Maurice toured a jumbo jet, met real pilots, suited up in his own uniform and trained in a professional flight simulator.

His wish gave him something powerful: freedom, joy and hope for brighter days ahead. 💙

This National Aviation Day, we’re grateful for the incredible support of American Airlines, Delta Air Lines, JetBlue and United. Their generosity helps wishes take flight every day.

Your airline miles and points can help wishes take flight. Donate today at wish.org/greaterpawv/airline-miles

A wish can create a lifetime of impact. ⭐

The Make-A-Wish America Starblazer Awards celebrate wish alumni who are using their wish experiences to inspire change and make a difference in the Make-A-Wish Greater PA and WV region and beyond.

The impact of a wish doesn’t end when the wish journey is complete. It lives through the people who carry that hope forward and use it to create something meaningful for others.

Know a wish alum whose story continues to inspire? Nominate them by August 23. 💙 wish.org/starblazer

For Rhett, some of his happiest moments happen outdoors. ☀️ After years of therapies and challenges related to his nervous system disorder, his wish to have a backyard playset brought much-needed hope and joy back into his life. 💙

“Words cannot express the joy Rhett’s playset has brought him. From the moment he saw it and was able to play on it, it has been nothing but laughter, squeals and bliss.” – Shantel, Rhett’s mom

Jake's wish for Steelers season tickets could not have started with a more special wish day when he got to meet the players. 🖤💛

Wishes can often be life-changing for children facing critical illnesses – bringing hope, joy and strength when they need it most. And when a wish leads them to an unforgettable destination, it can open up a whole new world of possibilities. 🌎

After facing leukemia, Lilly’s wish brought her and her family to the U.S. Virgin Islands, where days were spent snorkeling, exploring and soaking in every moment together. More than a getaway, it was a time to reconnect, celebrate Lilly’s courage and make memories that will last a lifetime. 🌊🌴

Give children with critical illnesses a world of hope by helping more wishes take flight. Donate your airline miles and points today: wish.org/greaterpawv/airline-miles ✈️💙

Summer is when our demand to grant wishes is the highest, but it's also when we see donations to our mission slow down the most. 📉 Your donation can create brighter days for kids like 13-year-old John, whose wish for a tropical vacation brought his family together in ways they didn’t even know they needed. 🏖️💙

“The past year has been quite a roller coaster with Johnny’s diagnosis, surgery and treatments,” said his mom. “Having this time together and seeing him experience such an amazing place was healing in a way that was even more than I expected it to be.”

John’s trip turned a dark chapter into a time filled with sunshine and memories. This summer, we need your help bringing that same joy to other kids battling critical illnesses. 🌤️ Help us make this a Summer of Wishes: wish.org/greaterpawv/summer
