Every day, Make-A-Wish grants wishes to critically ill children, giving them life changing experiences that provide the children optimism, hope and courage to pursue their medical treatments. ABC Supply is inspired by the incredible work of this organization, which is why they have teamed up with them to become a multimillion-dollar Make-A-Wish Champion Sponsor.
Through Make-a-Wish, ABC Supply lives their Give Back Core Value. Here are some highlights of the the many kids the company has helped support so far this year:
Eden is a 7-year-old sickle cell warrior. While much of her day-to-day routine is filled with doctors’ appointments and medications, she still finds ways to be joyful and creative amidst the chaos. After taking some time to think through what her wish might be, she excitedly shared that she would like to have a space of her own to craft, read, play chess, cross-stitch and make jewelry with her friends! The vision for this sweet girl’s she-shed space is as unique and special as she is and filled with all things fashion-forward, chic and sparkly!
Wish kid Belle is a 14-year-old with bone cancer who has always wanted her own “pet robotic dragon.” Earlier this year, her wish and imagination came to life when she was surprised with her 15-pound pet dragon at a massive 15th century style castle. The castle experience took place via virtual reality (VR) and transported Belle to a fantastical place far, far away, where she saw her dragon for the first time. When she removed the VR headset, her pet dragon was there by her side.
Four-year-old Blaize lives in a big, loving house with three generations of caring women: his mom, Kira, grandmother Donna, and his great-grandmother, Betty. “He’s a really happy little boy,” says Kira. “He always has energy.”
Unfortunately, the first few years of Blaize’s life weren’t so joyful. At only eight months old, he was diagnosed with infant leukemia. For more than a year and a half, Blaize was in and out of treatment. His cancer reoccurred at 14 months and he had to undergo a risky bone marrow transplant surgery. Blaize’s surgery was successful, and at 18 months old, he was finally able to return to the comfort of home.
When Kira and Donna learned Blaize would qualify for a wish, they immediately thought about a play space for the backyard. “He loves the outside. This seemed like the perfect thing for him,” explains Donna. “We are just amazed at what an amazing job Make-A-Wish did. It’s so great for him.”
ABC Supply has always focused on being a company that Gives Back. And they know they couldn’t do this without the support of their customers who choose them to be their partner and materials distributor. They thank you for the continued support that allows us to grant wishes for these amazing kids.
