Theoden is no stranger to the power of a wish. In 2017, Make-A-Wish granted a wish for his older brother to have the most elite gaming computer system. Theoden remembers the joy it brought to his brother and his entire family.

“I also love video gaming and have been doing it since I was 6-years old,” recalls Theoden. “A better computer system will definitely enhance my gaming experience, not to mention my current gaming system is on its last legs!”

With the help of community supporters and volunteers, Make-A-Wish granted Theoden’s wish with a social-distance reveal! Theoden and his family gathered outside of his home to unveil his new gifts, while Torchy’s Tacos, Theo’s favorite restaurant, sent their food truck to make the experience for him complete! “Wow...what can I say? Theoden is a true gem! He’s polite, intelligent, bright and fun,” says Sophia, Make-A-Wish Volunteer. “I watched him shine on his wish day, but I think the best part was his poses when he knew a photo was being taken – made me smile each time”
