"I Could See Color Again" A Community Mural Project
The Make-A-Wish Community Mural Project is an ambitious, multichannel collaboration with the LISA Project NYC to celebrate the resilience of wish kids and NYC! From August through October, we'll be creating community murals around NYC to spread the power of a wish throughout the city that supports us.
"I could see color again." - Wish Alum Rey Rosa
This project is inspired by Rey Rosa, wish alum and co-founder of the LISA Project NYC. Rey has fought a critical illness since birth, and after growing up in the foster care system, he credits his wish with bringing color and imagination to his life. Rey’s wish to visit Walt Disney World® Resort at the age of 10 allowed him, in his words “To see color again.” Ultimately, it led him to becoming a street artist passionate about giving back to his community.
