Alex and his family had been planning a trip to the parks in Florida before his cancer diagnosis, but the trip never happened until now! Earlier this month, Alex's wish to explore the parks finally came true! 🏰🎢 The family had an amazing time staying at Give Kids the World and experiencing the magic Alex had been waiting for. 🌟

Introducing July's recipient for Wish Granter of the Month: Judy Flaherty! Judy, alongside her husband, John, has been volunteering with Make-A-Wish Philadelphia, Delaware, & Susquehanna Valley since 2015. She has participated in over 80 wishes ranging from Disney World, shopping sprees, a custom fursuit, and many more. Judy never shies away from hopping on last minute wish discoveries or celebrating a wish with little notice. One of Judy's favorite wish memories is a wish celebration where the child went on a scavenger hunt to reveal their wish to go to Disney World. As a retired nurse, Judy leads with empathy and continues volunteering "to see the happiness on the child's face" and truly understands the impact a wish can make. Thank you, Judy, for your dedication and commitment to our wish children and families. You truly make the world a better place!
