Fabian is a smart and driven 18-year-old who has dreams of making a difference. Fabian loves learning, playing soccer, and spending time with his family. A noble soul who treats people with respect and enjoys being of service to others, Fabian is described by his family as a real-life hero. Fabian has been through a lot, but he has a lot to look forward to including attending college at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas. 

Diagnosed with cancer in 2018, Fabian has been on a medical journey full of biopsies, chemotherapy, and radiation treatments. Yet, his hopeful heart and a positive mindset have helped keep him motivated and focused on what matters – his future. One of Fabian’s biggest dreams is to study medicine with the goal of becoming a nurse. When it came to Fabian’s wish, he knew he wanted something that was going to have a lasting effect on his future, which is why he wished to have a college scholarship. 

Thanks to Rig-Rents, Fabian’s wish became a reality just in time for him to start college. Not only will Fabian be a first-generation college graduate in the years to come, but he will also be the first person in his family to pursue a career in the medical field. His wish reveal was a complete surprise to both Fabian and his family. What they thought would be a normal appointment at The Wishing Place, turned into a safe and fun socially distanced celebration consisting of balloons, goodie bags filled with UNLV swag, and a big check with Fabian’s name on it. Students from UNLV who are currently studying medicine also attended to answer any questions Fabian might have about his upcoming classes. Fabian’s wish reveal also coincided with his birthday weekend! Now that Fabian is equipped with all the necessities to take college by storm, we can’t wait to see all he accomplishes.
