After spending much of her 17 years receiving life-saving dialysis care, kidney transplant patient Cecilia knew just the wish to request from Make-A-Wish Texas Gulf Coast and Louisiana
"To go on a shopping spree to give back to patients at Texas Children’s Hospital.” Through the generosity of the Make-A-Wish Texas Gulf Coast and Louisiana Young Leaders Board, her wish was brought to life! On February 23rd, Cecilia selected gifts and personally delivered them to the children in the Dialysis Unit and on the 12th floor of Texas Children's Hospital, bringing much-needed smiles and comfort.
“A wish is one of the most powerful treatment tools for kids battling critical illnesses because it replaces fear with hope, sadness with joy. For Cecilia to share the power of her wish with others illustrates the pure love and humanity in her heart.”—Yara Elsayed Guest, President and CEO of Make-A-Wish Texas Gulf Coast and Louisiana
