Make a wish foundation

Since 1980 the make a wish foundation has made the lives of thousands of children a whole lot better. The first wish was on April 29th 1980. The kids name was Chris Greicius he was getting treated for leukemia all he wanted to do was be a police officer. Officer Tommy Austin had become friends with Chris and his mom. Chris’s progress dropped, so officer Tommy scheduled a day with the officers for Chris. They stared out taking a tour of the city in a department helicopter. Chris had a great time but his fun didn’t stop there he also got a tailored uniform. On May 2nd Chris had his room in the hospital arranged so everywhere he looked he saw his officer gear. The next day Chris passed away. Kids wishes vary from being a princess to meeting the famous Carlos Santana, Donald Trump and Jennifer Garner. All their wishes came true.
