  • Make a wish granted - 8 year old Kindi from Baytown Texas who had a wish to visit disney

    Our third wish comes from 8-year-old Kindi in Baytown, TX. Kindi battles cystic fibrosis, but that doesn't stop her from enjoying her favorite activity--running. She loves being outside and tracking her weekly miles. When she's not running, she loves gymnastics, doing her hair and make-up and playing with her Yorkie, Buzz.
    When it came to having her wish granted, Kindi knew that she wanted to experience the magic only a place like Disney World can offer! She had the most incredible trip with her family and wore the biggest smile on her face each day. Kindi's Mom shared that they are "forever grateful" for the time spent together and memories made on this trip!

  • Our fourth wish comes from 17-year-old Wish Kid Nicholas “Nick” is obsessed with shoes! He loves all brands, but particularly Jordans and Nikes. He buys, displays, collects, and of course, wears them! When Nick learned he would have a wish granted by Make A-Wish Texas Gulf Coast and Louisiana, he wished to go to the Flight Club in NYC, because it is the most popular shoe store, and he’s always wanted to check it out. Nick had an amazing time in New York City and didn’t want to come back! Nick spent the majority of his wish trip exploring all the city had to offer, especially the sports scene! Of course, his favorite part was visiting Flight Club. Nick loved immersing himself in the shoe world and picking out some sneakers for himself as well!
