Nick, 3:

I wish to have a shopping spree

After Nick was diagnosed with a life-threatening medical condition, his frequent play time kept his spirits up. His collection of toy cars helped him stay positive even when he wasn’t feeling well. When Make-A-Wish Foundation^® volunteers offered to make his wish come true, Nick asked for a shopping spree so he could have all the cars he wanted.

Betty Crocker^® helped turn Nick’s wish into a day-long celebration. A limousine arrived at his home and took him to all his favorite toy stores. Nick could barely contain his excitement at each stop. At every store, well-wishers greeted him with balloons and applause. He even had a personal shopper to find all his favorite items. Once Nick had filled the limousine with all his choices, he and his family spent the rest of the afternoon eating pizza and playing video games.

The perfect day Nick enjoyed helped him and his family re-discover the simple joys of being a regular family. It was a time to put aside the challenges of facing his medical condition. And it created memories that will always make them smile again.
