“I wish to have a backyard makeover!”
Bella, age 4
Wish Adopted by: Inner Balance
Isabella’s mom told us what a difference her daughter’s wish for a backyard play area has made. Isabella is a shy young girl whose congenital heart defects have presented many challenges to her and her family.
“I just wanted to share with you, Isabella is the happiest girl on earth right now. She plays, and plays, and plays, and spends hours playing house, making mud pies, watering plants, running, hiding, etc.!
“I must admit, today when I tucked her in I shed tears of joy and gratitude. To see little Bella so happy, so full of life just playing and enjoying her back yard – after so much suffering. My biggest prayer is that she may replace all the fears and unpleasant memories she may have from spending so much time in the hospital with new and better ones; I know the gift that Make-A-Wish so lovingly provided will help her do that!
“From the bottom of our heart comes our deepest gratitude, no words, no actions will ever repay what you have done for Bella and my family.”
