A Second Wish By Demetrius Inc. A Second Wish By Demetrius Inc. is a 501.C3 dedicated to granting a second wish to children age 10 to 17 Treatment for this is very complex.

Demetrius was diagnosed at the age of 2 1/2 with an ependymoma brain tumor. An ependymoma brain tumor is a malignant primary brain tumor. Demetrius recovered from his first surgery suprising the doctors and began attending Montessori School at Holy Rosary in Cleveland, Ohio at age 3. He also started playing the piano. His tumor returned at age 7 and he was granted a wish of a piano. Demetrius was making progress when the tumor returned a third time at age 12 and he wanted a second wish of a train ride with his family from Tampa to Orlando with a stop in Atlanta to visit his great-grandmother one last time. He would have had to fly a portion of the trip as his health was failing. The trip would be costly and the family reached out to other "wish granting organizations" across the country; all of whom could not assist because he had been granted a wish from another organization. Demetrius died at age 12 with his second wish unfulfilled. A Second Wish By Demetrius was established because of Demetrius' unfulfilled wish. With advances in medicine and treatments, children with life-threatening illnesses are living longer and should have an opportunity to receive "A SECOND WISH."

Raul’s Second Wish Is About Creating Comfort at Home.

Raul’s Second Wish is a home projector and screen experience with calm lighting and light exercise items. His
wish reflects something important: joy does not always require a long trip. Sometimes it means creating a
comfortable space at home where a young person can relax, enjoy favorite entertainment, and make new
memories.
Help us introduce more people to Raul by sharing his story.

Share Raul’s story with someone who understands the comfort of home.
What makes a space at home feel peaceful to you?
