?? #WishStory | 6-year-old Aleksander loves space and he often watches videos about other planets. Unfortunately, a leukemia diagnosis?requires Aleksander to come back to Earth?for?his many doctor appointments and chemotherapy treatments. He used to be very active, but he began to spend more of his time away from home and at the hospital.? When Aleksander qualified for a wish, he wanted to have a place of his own that incorporated his favorite things. His wish – a galaxy-themed room makeover – is out of this world!???? “Aleksander is autistic, so a big part of his wish was making it a sensory room with changing lights and colorful liquid sensory tiles,” shared his family. “He loved participating in brainstorming wish ideas, selecting fun items for the room, and having something to look forward to during such challenging times.”??? Thanks to the help of Arizona Painting Company and the Response Crew, Aleksander’s wish became a reality. The new room includes galaxy wallpaper, comforter and curtains to block out the light and really fit the space theme. “The reveal was so emotional,” his family continued. “We were very heartened by all the enthusiasm of the volunteers. He now has his own special bedroom and is so proud of it.”? For every wish we grant, two kids are waiting and urgently need your support. ?? Will you give today in honor of kids like Aleksander this #ChildhoodCancerAwarenessMonth? arizona.wish.org/donate.
