“I wish to meet George Lopez”
Cheyenne, age 13
Wish Adopted by: Astec Power
13-year-old Cheyenne is a very artistic young woman who has a passion for painting and drawing. When she isn’t expressing herself through art, she enjoys playing video games, listening to hip-hop music, and watching basketball, especially Dwayne Wade.
Among the many special qualities that Cheyenne possesses, she is also courageously battling a rare kidney disease. When presented with the opportunity to have her wish granted, she knew that she wanted to meet her favorite actor, George Lopez.
Her big day took place this summer, when George came to San Diego for a show at the Sports Arena. Cheyenne and here family were picked up in a limo and treated to a wonderful dinner before heading to the venue for a pre-show meet-n-greet with Mr. Lopez and fantastic seats for his show.
Although her wish day may be over, her memories, pictures and autographs will last forever. Now, whenever she sees George Lopez on TV, she can say that she knows him… and, most importantly, she’s reminded that dreams do come true!
