Image note: the photo with the full crowd inside shows two sisters in the front, who are “wish kids”. One of these little girls had her wish granted after having had five open heart surgeries in her short nine years of life. Make-a-Wish granted her wish to go to Hawaii with her family to swim with the dolphins.
