The purpose of the Make-A-Wish Foundation® of Hawaii is to grant the wish of each child in Hawaii between the ages of 2 1/2 and 18 who has a life-threatening medical condition, (i.e., a progressive, degenerative or malignant medical condition that has placed the child's life in jeopardy.) The wish of each youngster is uniquely different reflecting his or her own dream and imagination. Whether the child wishes to take a trip to visit a relative or meet a favorite celebrity, to have a computer or to spend a few wonderful days in the Magic Kingdom, Make-A-Wish® does everything possible to ensure that wish becomes a reality and that the experience is one that the entire family will forever remember and cherish.
Lucas, like most five year olds, is very interested in Disney. So, when asked what he wanted for his wish, he requested one of the most popular wish destinations...Disney World. Lucas and his family spent Spring Break in sunny Florida visiting the various Disney theme parks and meeting the many Disney characters. They had opportunity to enjoy the neighboring attractions, as well. The family was incredibly moved by the kindness and generosity of the staff and volunteers at Give Kids the World and mentioned that everyone recognized the Make-A-Wish logo and treated Lucas fabulously. Thanks to the generosity of sponsor Pacific Rebekah Lodge IOOF, Lucas and his family enjoyed the wish of a lifetime.
