Make-A-Wish ® and Community Partners to Host Holiday Celebration for Local Wish Kid
Make-A-Wish ® Texas Gulf Coast and Louisiana, along with several community partners, will host a special holiday themed celebration for 7-year-old wish kid, Levi, who is bravely battling cancer.
This heartwarming event will include a festive gathering with Levi’s family, friends and community supporters. The celebration will feature holiday-themed activities, special guests, and a presentation to reveal the details of Levi’s upcoming wish trip to Colorado, which will be taking place January 12. In Colorado, Levi hopes to enjoy snowball fights, take ski lessons and experience a winter wonderland.
Despite his diagnosis and journey, Levi is an average All-American boy who loves baseball, and his favorite movie The Sandlot. He enjoys being outside, jumping on the trampoline, swimming with his friends and is a math whiz!
The youngest of six, Levi enjoys spending time with his family and is very excited to have a family vacation to celebrate his wish journey. This will be the first time Levi has ridden on an airplane and will see snow!
Levi’s wish is one of the first holiday themed wishes to take place this year as part of the Make-A-Wish Wishful Giving campaign. More than 4,000 children will be diagnosed with a critical illness this holiday season. Instead of family gatherings and celebrations, they may face hospital stays, harsh treatments and scary surgeries that can’t wait until the new year.
A wish creates a turning point in a child’s treatment and recovery – guiding them out of darkness and isolation, sparking hope, and bringing back the piece of childhood that seemed lost.
The hope and joy of a wish is the most valuable gift you give this holiday season. Thanks to a generous family whose daughter was a wish recipient, Levi’s wish is being granted as part of a holiday wish it forward campaign.
