Manny, Age 7

I Wish to Have...a Bounce House FOREVER!
DSCN0563.JPG

Manny is winning his battle with leukemia and recently he received a wish that definitely put a lot of hop in his step!

See, the 7-year-old from Lawndale wanted a bounce house for his backyard that he could have FOREVER! Now Manny and his younger brother, Carlos, can practice their wrestling moves, shoot basketballs at the built-in rim and box with the oversized gloves.

The Make-A-Wish Foundation was able to grant Manny's wish and was especially touched when it was discovered that the person who came to set up the bounce house had been a Wish Child himself nine years ago.
