“Brendan was mute until almost 5,” his mom shared, recalling the moment Brendan threw a ball to a dog and spoke his first words ever: "Good job!" It was proof that Brendan was making progress, and marked the beginning of his Wish Journey. His choice was clear: Brendan wished for a goldendoodle, known for their uncanny ability to sense coming seizures.
His new puppy, Pluto, quickly became Brendan’s best friend and guardian angel, sensing his seizures and alerting the family. “Anytime Brendan starts to seize, Pluto hears it first and runs to his room,” Karl shares. This connection has brought a new level of security and peace to their lives.
Brendan’s family will never forget the support they received through Make-A-Wish® from WishMakers like you. People like you are the reason Brendan’s wish came true. Will you change another waiting child’s life by giving now?
Gratefully, |
