Hi, my name is Alisha Desai and I am now 13 years old. This is my third year doing a lemonade stand for the Make - A- Wish foundation. This is a tradition that makes me so happy and I look forward to doing this every year.

Last year I visited the Make-A-Wish foundation in New Jersey and I loved it so much. It was one of the best experiences of my life, and it truly felt like a fairy tale. The idea of kids having their dreams come true is amazing, and it's the whole reason I have done the lemonade stand. These kids are going through a hard time, and I love that they have a chance to wish for what they want most. We raised $5000 in total since the start of this Lemonade stand. My goal is to raise $1500.00 this year. I am so excited to see you all there!
