For years, Adriana faced the challenges of living with a serious heart condition. Hospital rooms, long nights, and countless procedures became a part of her life, and her family lived in a delicate balance between hope and fear. Her mom, Lisa, often stayed awake at night watching heart monitors, praying for answers, and wondering what the next day would bring.

When Adriana’s wish to go to Hawaii came true, it wasn’t just a trip — it was a celebration of resilience, hope, and life itself. For the first time in years, she could step away from the weight of her medical journey and focus on adventure, fun, and making memories.

The trip was a reminder of the power of wishes — to bring joy, strength, and hope even after the most challenging journeys. For Adriana and her family, it was a chance to pause, celebrate, and simply be together.

Through Make-A-Wish, families like Adriana’s can experience moments of pure joy and adventure, creating memories that last a lifetime — and showing that even in the face of challenges, hope and happiness can thrive.
