Valentine’s Day is all about love, kindness and making memories with loved ones – and wish kids like Nia show us how it’s done! ?? ? Living with a rare disease means Nia spends many long days in the hospital, away from her family and friends. But at home, she cherishes hosting tea parties with her family. So, when Nia learned she would be granted a wish, she combined her love of tea parties with her favorite family memory – her wish was to have high tea on the beach! ????? ? Nia spent her wish day laughing, running on the beach, twirling in her new dress, enjoying sweet tea and delicious treats, and beaming with joy as she made everlasting memories with her family. Nia’s wish empowered her to experience life beyond illness and filled her entire family with renewed hope for better days ahead. ?? Make-A-Wish America, Make-A-Wish Mid-Atlantic

Kennedy’s entrepreneurial spirit inspired her wish – to both sell and give her fabulous headbands to kids fighting heart conditions – like the congenital heart disease she faces. “I know what it feels like to be in the hospital for a long time,” Kennedy said. “I just wanted people to feel happy.” ?? ?? wish.org/heart Make-A-Wish America Make-A-Wish Ohio, Kentucky & Indiana
