Abraham rides in style with his very own kid-sized motorcycle
At just five years old, Abraham has faced more challenges than many of us could ever imagine.
Diagnosed with anemia in September 2023, his days were often filled with frequent doctor visits, sometimes two to three times a week. After a bone marrow transplant and more treatments, his condition left him feeling weak and unable to enjoy the simple joys of childhood, like playing outside or participating in P.E. class at school.
It was during one of these numerous doctor visits that a social worker referred Abraham and his family to Make-A-Wish Arizona. At that time they knew very little about the organization, but Abraham had a clear vision for his wish - a kid-sized motorcycle with a flag!
“I remember the pure delight in his eyes when he heard about his wish coming true,” said his mother, Brenda.
“I was not surprised by his wish, Abraham wants to be a police officer when he grows up, specifically the one that gets to drive motorcycles because he wants to chase bad guys.”
His parents were eager to see his wish come to life and the anticipation built up to a beautiful day when Abraham's wish was granted.
Abraham went on a shopping spree, picking out his mini motorcycle and other toys, and the experience was nothing short of magical.
“It was beautiful because he was so happy,” Brenda continued.
Seeing Abraham's joy brought an overwhelming sense of relief and happiness to his parents, who noticed an immediate change in him. It was as if Abraham came alive again, rediscovering the vibrant world around him.
“Now that he’s better he’s able to actually play outside in the evenings and enjoy his new toys.”
“I get to ride my motorcycle everyday!” said Abraham.
Though he still needs regular checkups and ongoing care, Abraham's demeanor has transformed. He found a new source of joy and resilience.
Today, Abraham continues to get stronger. He has returned to school and his wish is more than just a special memory. It is a reminder of the beautiful moments that can arise even in the toughest times.
