"Dreams are only
A WISH away"
A Wish Come True, Inc. is a local
nonprofit organization
founded in
1982 that grants wishes to children
ages 3 through 18,
who have a
life-threatening illness and live in
Rhode Island and
areas of
southeastern Massachusetts.
Our
list of wishes continues to grow -
but with the help of many individuals
like you, as well as our friends in the
business community, we continue to
make so many children's wishes come
true...
There is only
one time...
It is now!

Andrew's
Wish...
...to
have more fun...
...with
his brother Jake!

ANDREW’S WISH
Andrew is a fairly
typical three-year-old boy, who likes “Dora the
Explorer,” anything yellow and his twin brother Jake as his
playmate!
The problem,
however, is that Andrew is really anything but a typical little boy.
Andrew’s medical condition requires frequent
hospitalization– and it takes him away from his brother, Jake.
When Andrew’s case was presented to A
Wish Come True, and he was asked about what his wish might be,
Andrew said simply he wanted to “have more fun with Jake.”
The wish became a
bedroom makeover, in a fun theme for the two brothers, so the time
they had together could be well spent!
Thanks to the incredible generosity of Christine Hannon, of Hannon
Art Works in
North Scituate
,
RI
, Andrew and Jake’s bedroom was hand-painted with a seascape
mural, with surf, sand, a beach buggy and both boys’ names painted
on the walls. Then,
interior designer Patti Wagner-Miller of
North Attleboro
,
MA
added her expertise in choosing the bedding and accoutrements
perfect for two growing boys. Henry
Ritchotte from Rooms To Grow in
Warwick
provided double bunk beds with dressers, with the added attraction
of a tent on top – perfect for two precocious three-year-olds!
Andrew’s mother
now says she hears giggling and laughter coming from the new bedroom
– something she has not heard in a very long time.
That makes this makeover wish a real “wish come true!”
