Mateo's Wish Day
Mateo, 6, will see his wish come true on Thursday, May 6 in Stockton, CA and you're invited to help make his wish day very special! Mateo's wish to be a delivery person is coming true as he will join local UPS Driver, Dave, delivering hope in the form of packages around Downtown Stockton! Learn more about Mateo's story by clicking here.
While we would love for as many people to make celebratory posters or signs for Mateo and cheer him on as he completes his delivery route, we do ask that anyone who does come to celebrate stay in designated areas (see the map below) across from where his route takes him. Mateo still suffers from leukemia, so social distancing and masks are required and will be enforced. All participants and staff helping to facilitate Mateo's wish will be temperature checked and required to wear masks as well.
