NINE-YEAR-OLD BATTLING CRITICAL ILLNESS WISHES TO GIVE BACK TO HOMETOWN THAT HAS SUPPORTED HIM
Ayden has been granted a wish, and he wants to give it to his community. He will be throwing a party for all the residents and town officials to thank them for the support they have shown him throughout his courageous battle with his critical illness.
Bordentown, NJ - On Monday, August 5th, nine-year-old Ayden of Bordentown, New Jersey will fulfill his one true wish – to GIVE back and have a party for the hometown that has supported him as he courageously battles a critical, life-threatening illness.
Ayden has an infectious personality and loves to give hugs to everyone he meets. The Bordentown police, township, and local businesses have all rallied in support of Ayden, hosting fundraisers to benefit him and assist his family throughout his treatment.
When Ayden recently visited the Make-A-Wish New Jersey Samuel & Josephine Plumeri Wishing Place, affectionately known as the “castle”, he declared his fondest wish was to host a party for his community to thank them for all that they have done for him and his family. He asked for this party to be on Monday, August 5th, which also happens to be both his and his twin sister’s 10th birthday.
Make-A-Wish New Jersey has partnered with the Township of Bordentown to throw Ayden and the community a party centered around his and his sister’s birthday, where he will be greeted with cheers and fanfare from his supportive community, recognizing his courage, bravery, and selflessness.
The ceremony will also contain a surprise for Ayden where he will be presented with a key to the city, and a special proclamation from the mayor. After the ceremony, the community will join Ayden for an afternoon of fun, food, festivities and free hugs.
