The Make A Wish Party


On December 20, 2008, The Make A Wish Foundation and United Healthcare sponsored a party for Araya to let her share her Make A Wish moments with her family and friends! We met at the Make A Wish building here in Salt Lake which is a really neat place to see! What a special feeling you get when you read about all the different wishes children around the world ask for and what a strong rush of emotions you get when you walk through their Hall of Stars which is a hall filled with over 400 different stained glass stars that have been hung in honor of each child who was granted a wish through our Utah Chapter of Make A Wish. I put together a DVD that showcased pictures of Araya from birth to present and also included photos from her shopping spree. We all watched the DVD with Araya. We laughed at the funny photos and teared up with the emotional ones! It was great! We ate cake and ice cream and just enjoyed the time to together and the time with Araya! What a very special time in our lifes!! Araya definately deserved this Wish and the Make a Wish Staff and United Healthcare Staff really made it a special day for Araya and her family!! What great jobs those guys have!!
