Iris’ Wish Will Melt Your Heart
Iris was only 3 when she was diagnosed with a brain tumor and endured years of pain and intensive medical treatments. Her family was terrified and worried. Her mother, Kristin, said, “We went from planning everything to living in the moment because we didn’t know what was going to happen next.” 9-year-old Iris wished for one thing: to see snow. She longed to spend a day in a winter wonderland, just like her favorite movie. When Make-A-Wish transported Iris into a snow-filled world, she couldn’t stop smiling. She and her siblings went ice skating and skiing, rode snowmobiles and built snowmen. The family experienced time together without focusing on Iris’ illness.
And for the first time in a long time, they had hope. Today, Iris is recovering. Thanks to generous supporters, Iris got her wish, which gave her the strength she needed. You can help thousands of children just like Iris, who are waiting for their wishes to come true. Will you give the gift of hope?
