Wish Kid Bryce is a fighter with a big laugh and an even bigger heart. 💙

Bryce lives with sickle cell disease, and his wish gave him a moment to just be a kid. A win, as his dad puts it, "Because when my son laughs, when my son is happy, we are reminded of the challenge that he's overcome."

Today, on Juneteenth and World Sickle Cell Awareness Day, we're honoring how wishes uplift the lives of the children and families we serve. Every child deserves the chance to experience joy, hope, and possibility.

Meet Wish Alum, Brady. Brady’s wish was to have a place where he could spend time with his brother, family and friends: a theater and game room. When he was imagining his wish, he even drew what his movie room could look like, from reclining chairs and a popcorn maker to a snack stand, big TV and refrigerator. 🍿🎥🌟

After a fun day at Lost Island Amusement Park, Brady received the news that his wish had been granted. When he came home and saw the space come to life, it was everything he had imagined.

"It's been a wonderful space for Brady and his family and friends to share with him. He was excited to show everyone. This will be a wonderful space for years to come." - Brady's Mom 💙
