A Hard-Working Kid

Creason’s mother, Oceanna, describes him as “sunshine in human form.” He’s a hard-working farm boy who loves to take care of his dogs, chickens, and pigs. His biggest passion is anything to do with trucks and trailers.

When Creason’s parents noticed that his head was tilting, they took him to the hospital. There, doctors found a tumor the size of a lime in his brain. He required two surgeries over the span of six months, traveling all the way to Tennessee for the second one where a specialist was able to remove all traces of the tumor. He’s currently in remission and goes in for regular MRIs for monitoring.

Creason’s parents say that his illness, although terrifying, did give them a lot of perspective on life. They no longer worry about minor inconveniences or small problems. They were nothing in the face of something like this. Also, they said that it helped them to appreciate it when good things in life happen a little more.

Creason and his parents live on a farm in Middleton, Idaho. When Creason learned he was getting a wish, there was one obvious choice. He wanted a garage for his Power Wheels because he likes to follow his dad, Cache, around the farm on one. He has five Power Wheels, and Creason told Make-A-Wish Idaho that his favorite one was the blue one.

His new garage was a ten-foot by ten-foot shed that stood twelve feet tall and sat at the edge of their yard and was painted red like the other outbuildings on the farm. Creason’s garage boasts an electric garage door and a matching doghouse. All of his Power Wheels can fit inside where they will be kept safe, clean, and dry.

The garage was officially finished on July 6, 2027. Make-A-Wish®  Idaho held a ribbon-cutting ceremony for Creason who, with the help of his father, cut the ribbon on his brand-new garage.

His parents told us that the wish had really given Creason something to look forward to over the last few months. It was the only thing he talked about. Creason also really enjoyed watching the construction crews build his garage, and he even got the chance to pitch in with the painting.
