A MOMENT OF GRATITUDE FROM THE `OHANA “A HEARTFELT MAHALO TO ALL WHO’VE HELPED MAKE THESE AND FUTURE WISHES COME TRUE.” MAKE-A-WISH® HAWAII STAFF & LEADERSHIP F rom the depths of our hearts, thank you to our wish families. You fight unthinkable battles every day and come through with grace, patience and resilience. You are our heroes, and inspire us every day. Thank you to our volunteers for your countless and invaluable hours; to our local community for your infallible and life-transforming partnerships; and to our donors for your unwavering generosity. We would not be able to bring these magical moments into the lives of our children without your dedication and support. “I WANT MY PUPPY TO GROW BIG WITH ME.” - EITY A BEST FRIEND FOREVER At the young age of 5, Eity has already endured a long battle with renal failure, undergoing a kidney transplant with a long recovery ahead. And the only person who can cheer her up isn’t a person at all. On the other side of Eity’s true wish is Kuku, a rescue puppy in need of a “furever” home. Together, they are better than they have ever been before. Eity now has a true friend alongside her, to traverse the road to happiness together. Photo: Darcy Fiero Photography
