When 10-year-old Khiry wished to go on a Disney Cruise Line® adventure, he dreamed of fun, family, and a little bit of magic. What he got was so much more. From the moment they stepped onboard, the surprises didn’t stop—gifts delivered to his room, his favorite desserts at dinner, and VIP fireworks views under the stars. 🌟 He met Captain Minnie 🐭, joined a magical princess gathering 👑, and lit up during Pirates in the Caribbean night—costume and all! But the biggest surprise? Khiry took the stage during karaoke and sang My Way by Frank Sinatra in front of a full crowd. 🎤 It was a moment his family will never forget—especially because Khiry is usually shy. His confidence soared. He swam with dolphins, explored Castaway Cay with his mom, and even celebrated an early birthday with a special cake. 🎂 Everywhere he went, he wore his Make-A-Wish pin proudly. “I want people to know I’m San Diego’s Wish Kid,” he said. For Khiry’s parents, the most meaningful part was seeing their son truly shine. “We cried seeing how special he felt,” his dad said. “We’ve never seen that glow before.” This wasn’t just a vacation. It was a wish that made Khiry feel celebrated, brave, and deeply loved. 💙 Thank you to Disney and the Disney Cruise Line team for making Khiry’s wish unforgettable. ✨ #disneywishes (fb)

“I love being able to talk about Make-A-Wish with my patients. They just light up… talking about all the things that they can do, and they get so excited. It’s just something so fun to talk about instead of talking about maybe how sick they’re feeling that day.” – Zoie, wish alum 💙 Zoie was in middle school when she was diagnosed with leukemia. After years of treatment, her wish became a beacon of hope, joy and strength during a difficult time. Zoie shared, “It was something my family could have never gotten to do if it wasn’t for Make-A-Wish.” Today, Zoie has graduated from college and is a pediatric oncology nurse, working at the very hospital where she was treated. Her journey – from wish kid to nurse – is an inspiring testament to her strength and resilience, and the transformative power of a wish. ✨ To Zoie – and all the graduates this year – congratulations! 🎓 (fb)
