I wish for LASIK eye surgery

Desert sand and contact lenses don’t mix. That’s exactly why Staff Sgt. Rich DiPalma posted a wish that someone could provide him with complimentary LASIK eye surgery. His answer came just days after posting the wish. Nevyas Eye Associates agreed to provide the surgery free of charge for DiPalma. The surgery was performed a few weeks later by Dr. Anita Nevyas-Wallace, and now, DiPalma is enjoying his perfect vision! -Granted by Nevyas Eye Associates |
I wish that my sister could go to the Hannah Montana concert

A young girl made this wish for her eight-year-old sister who, in addition to having Down Syndrome, had recently undergone two open-heart surgeries. Although she loves Hannah Montana, her family was unable to afford the tickets because of medical expenses. A member of Wish Upon a Hero, who also happens to have a sister with Down Syndrome, found an emotional connection with the wish and wanted to help. He became this little girl’s hero when he purchased 4 tickets for her and her family to go to the concert. |

I wish for clothing for my six children

A mother of six, whose youngest child was born without his left arm, wished that, just for once, her children could know that clothes come new.
