Soraya, 9
"Make-A-Wish gave us life. I will tell you that when you are in the weeds and you are looking inward, and all you can do is think about the minute-to-minute medications, the ventilator, the doctors' appointments. You're not looking up. You're not looking at what's important. Make-A-Wish gave us more than just a trip. It gave us a way to live."
– Tasha, wish mom

Bryce, 10
"For a child that has gone through so much, it's so nice when they get a win. And this was Bryce's win … Because when my son laughs, when my son is happy, we are reminded of the challenge that he's overcome – and I am forever grateful for the contribution and the gift that we received from Make-A-Wish."
– Adrienne, Bryce's mom
