Anthony, who has a brain tumor and is blind, has already been through a lot in his 10 years, but he refuses to let life’s challenges take away his joy. Thanks to supporters like you, his care team and the Make‑A‑Wish^® community, he experienced the joy of a wish come true.

“A kid that could be crying about everything in the world … and yet, never a negative word, always happy to see you. ‘How are you today,’ is always the first thing out of his mouth,” said his grandfather. In keeping with his concern for others, Anthony wished to give his school for the blind an accessible playground, so students of all abilities could play together.

But big wishes like this take lots of support, which is where supporters like you come in. We hope you will join us now, so you can help make more wishes come true!

When the community heard about Anthony’s selfless wish for an accessible playground, generous donors like you came together to make his great, big wish a delightful reality.

Anthony’s mom said, “Watching the kids from kindergarten through high school enjoy the playground is more than worth it. These kids deserve the world, happiness, and joy, and I can’t wait for all the memories they are going to make.” She continued, “This was our best way to give back. It’s not a temporary thing, it’s permanent. It just makes my heart full.”
