Early First-Person Storytelling
“My eyes lit up, my heart raced, and my jaw hurt from smiling so big. I didn’t know if I wanted to cry, scream, or just stand there in shock. Justin Bieber was walking towards me.” - Wish kid Kayla
“But it wasn’t the fabulous shoes, or the beautiful clothes that Sarah got from the wish that mattered. What she received from the wish is something nobody could ever put a price on. It gave her her spirit back. And it gave me my best friend back.” – Skyla about her friend Sarah’s wish
