Boy With Leukemia Uses His Wish From Make-A-Wish Not For Himself But For His Classmates

This sure was a pizza party like none other, at McKinley Elementary School in Watertown.

At the end of the school day, students and staff come to the playground area and form a block-long greeting tunnel.

The students have come armed with signs and costumes, even as a police escort managed to surprise their classmate 9-year-old Javier Amos.

Javier has been diagnosed with leukemia and is currently in remission, he was granted a wish from the “Make A Wish” foundation.  He did not wish for a trip to Disneyworld or something like that, but what he wanted was a party for his school which included pizza, zoo animals, bounce houses, laser tag, and other games.

Jo Evenson, who heads “Make A Wish,” South Dakota, attended the event, he says he hasn’t seen anything like this before.

The school students partied for two-hours before going home in their school buses. Javier’s wish was granted by Dacotah Bank in Watertown.

Verse of the Day

“But after he had considered this, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream and said, “Joseph son of David, do not be afraid to take Mary home as your wife, because what is conceived in her is from the Holy Spirit. She will give birth to a son, and you are to give him the name Jesus, because he will save his people from their sins.””

Matthew 1:20-21
