SIANA & BRIGITTE

t’s our honor and privilege to grant our special keiki their one true wish, to be
entrusted by an entire community of caring and committed partners to give a
child and their family laughter and memories to last a lifetime. How do you
measure the power of a wish when you feel a child’s hug or are embraced by
a wish mom? We are humbled by the inspiration we’ve received in return and are
grateful to each of you for the investment that you are making to ensure that wishes
are coming true!
We realize the impact of a wish when we hear the unbridled laughter of a young boy
with severe developmental disabilities, able to play and laugh with his brothers in the
safety of a customized playground at home for the first time.
You know you’ve made a difference when you see the strength of spirit in a fiveyear
old boy from an underprivileged part of town, who’s survived nine open-heart
surgeries, acknowledging the crowd who are gathered to witness his induction into the
brotherhood of the Honolulu Police Department as an honorary junior police officer.
Feeling the undeniable love of parents who are transformed when they witness their
daughter smile as they’ve never seen before when her wish is granted to meet the
beautiful Princess Belle.
We can see it in their eyes, bright and sparkling as they’re filled with a renewed sense
of hope. You can feel the strength in their hugs as they feel the embrace of an entire
village of friends and neighbors united to bring magic to life. You can hear the joy in
their laughter as they experience their wish journey.
Our keiki are the future of our community, and our wish kids touch us and inspire us
every day to do everything in our power to transform the lives of others. From the
bottom of our hearts, thank you for everything you do to make their wishes come true!
With our sincerest gratitude,

&A WISH GRANTER’S
PURPOSE
HEATHER PIETRAS - VOLUNTEER WISH GRANTER
I
n 2012, I was looking for a volunteer opportunity on Maui, heard of the
Make-A-Wish Foundation and was ecstatic to find that there was a Hawaii
chapter. Shortly after, I was assigned my first wish child during the orientation
class and was able to meet with him that same day with my new and
delightful experienced wish partner, Emily, who was 89-years-young. I knew I
was in the right place as I watched in awe as this 8-year-old boy, attached to an
oxygen tank, told us excitedly of his one true wish. After some good laughs over
several months, while he was in and out of treatments, our little angel flew off to
Disney World to meet Mickey Mouse and enjoyed a fun-filled wish experience
with his family. Make-A-Wish Hawaii was able to grant this child a wonderful
experience and give the family memories to hold onto long after their son had
slipped away just a few months later.
As a volunteer for the past four years, I have been blessed in having granted
wishes to 15 of Maui’s children. It has been the most uplifting, priceless and
profound time of my life. I don’t think it gets any better than being given the title
of Wish Granter while the chapter’s wish coordinators orchestrate the details to
manifest these wishes for all these brave children. All the families I have met are
so grateful and appreciative of us, the volunteers as well as the Make-A-Wish
Hawaii`Ohana, for blessing them with a beautiful gift for their child during these
very dark times for their family. It truly makes me see and feel that wishes really do
come true.
I was even brought closer together with the entire Maui community during a wish
for Ryder, a child with craniosynostosis, who dreamed of having a playground in
his backyard where he could safely play with his brothers. Nearly 200 volunteers
from the Maui community joined together to grant this incredible wish. When
you witness so many hands working together, holding one another, for the sole
purpose of seeing a child smile, the parents shedding tears of happiness, you
genuinely feel love and think, “Thank you, Universe, for showing me my purpose.”
Heather with her wish partner, Emily,
and 8-year-old Xander, whose one
true wish while battling brain cancer
was to go to Disney World. Opposite:
Ryder (8, craniosynostosis) wished to
have a backyard oasis, where he could
play just like other kids. Ryder’s wish
united nearly 200 people from the Maui
community to give his family boundless
hours of happiness and joy.

Inspired by her son’s fight against
langerhans cell histiocytosis and how
his wish positively transformed their
family bond. Today, Christie is a wish
granter, making wishes possible for
other children just like Joseph.
ife hit me upside the head… and rocked my world. My baby, Joseph,
was diagnosed with a rare disease called Langerhans Cell Histiocytosis.
Ever heard of it? I hadn’t. It’s scary, and each day I battled not to be
scared. Nothing is harder than to see your child hurting, in pain, scared,
and you can’t fix it. Each of my boys had nightmares, waking me in the middle
of the night asking if Joseph is going to die, or asking if Jesus will fix him. How
could I comfort them?
Our family had always been so close, but Joseph’s diagnosis really brought us to
our knees—and what Make-A-Wish Hawaii did was give us a way to come back
together, in a way we couldn’t do for ourselves, and we are more united than
ever because of it. My favorite moment from our wish journey was just watching
Joseph and his brothers play, watching them have fun. It wasn’t just about Joseph;
it was about everybody. And I know this will impact Joseph. With all the pictures,
memories, carousel rides and seeing Mickey Mouse… even at 3-years-old, I know
he’s going to remember.
Joseph didn’t ask if he had to go to the doctors once during the entire trip, except
when he was getting a stick-on tattoo, but I told him, “No, this is not the doctor’s.
It won’t hurt. This is just for fun!”
There are no words to describe how much this has helped our family. It’s not just
a wish to go to Disney World or to Sea World; it’s an experience that truly is once
in a lifetime. It’s something we weren’t be able to do for our children by ourselves.
After all the challenges we experienced, this was our time to heal as a family, our
time for uplifting. And now we look forward and rejoice in this blessing.
“AFTER ALL THE CHALLENGES WE EXPERIENCED,
THIS WAS OUR TIME TO HEAL AS A FAMILY,
OUR TIME FOR UPLIFTING.”

WISHING IT FORWARD
R YAN CHAV OUS TIE,
YOUNG LEADERS BOARD & WISH GRANTER
I
n December 2014, I was humbled to have been chosen to help carry the
mission of delivering hope, strength and joy to our local wish kids. As an
attendee to three magical Gala events over the years, I felt great admiration
for the Make-A-Wish Hawaii mission and I was beyond excited to be a part
of its efforts and have the ability to make a difference as an inaugural member
of the Young Leaders Board. As a board member and current Secretary, I have
had the privilege of helping raise funds to transform the lives of Hawaii keiki
with life-threatening medical conditions in need of their one true wish. Through
coordinated efforts and events, our Young Leaders Board surpassed our first year’s
target fundraising goal by nearly double.
Heartened by the mission, I sought additional ways to help. In November 2015,
I took part in my first wish granting experience. Three Board colleagues and I
signed up to help an 8-year-old boy named Leka discover his wish. Leka had
recently undergone surgery for a brain tumor after he and his mother moved
to Hawaii from American Samoa, away from the comforts of their family and
home, for his surgery and various treatments. In all honesty, I felt nervous about
the first meeting. I worried about meeting the expectations of the family; after all,
experiencing his wish-come-true rested on our ability to capture everything he
enjoyed and turn it into a truly magical experience. I was amazed at the energy
level and enthusiasm Leka showed, despite how he felt physically; he was happy
to share his love for superheroes and Disney cartoons and characters. This first
encounter was completely life-changing. For the first time, I felt I could really
make a difference to a family by uniting with others in our community.
I could not be prouder of the progress that Leka continues to make in his
recovery; his sheer strength is my true inspiration. There are two things I look
forward to this year: the day we get to reveal to Leka that his wish is coming true,
and my next wish granting experience.
“LOOKING BACK, THAT FIRST
ENCOUNTER WAS COMPLETELY
LIFE CHANGING.”

ethany is the inspiration of my life…Her story has inspired
me to go on and fight. I’m going through a lot like she did
and we have our faith to keep us strong.”
– Wish Kid Madison
A wish to meet Bethany Hamilton is more than a “celebrity” wish;
it’s a chance for wish kids to connect with others who understand
their unique struggles with childhood illness, who have coped with
their treatments in the same ways. These wish kids have faced
unthinkable battles, but have held on to hope by watching Bethany’s
movie, “Soul Surfer”, drawing strength from her inspirational story
and trusting in their spiritual faith. And through the hands and hearts
of the people of Hawaii’s community who participate, the true Spirit
of Aloha shines through.
Madison and her new friend Zinnia faced new challenges together,
but not the medical challenges they were used to. Catching waves off
the beautiful bay of Hanalei, Kauai, with their source of inspiration,
Bethany Hamilton and other pro surfers, Madison, Zinnia and eight
other wish kids learned that the rules of surfing apply to their battles
with treatments too; with a little help from their friends, they over come
the scariest waves and said “aloha” to the sunshine.

FOREVER MEMORIES
W
hen I’m an angel, I’m going to stay with
you forever.” Grayson, 3/25/10 - 1/23/16
We met 5 year-old Grayson in the first week of June, and
his family quickly became part of our ‘Ohana. When this brave young
superhero was diagnosed with a brain tumor, his family held onto hope
and found in Grayson’s pure heart, warm smile and sense of humor daily
inspiration to live life to its fullest. Empowered by Grayson’s bravery in the
face of his condition, his family coined #GraysonStrong, sharing with the
community his optimism and joy.
Grayson enjoyed so many things – from animals to Legos; from
superheroes to Disney; from Thomas the Train to Star Wars, but when
his wish granters met with him the first time, his one true wish was clear:
Grayson wished to be a Jedi knight.
GRAYSON’S WISH TRIP SET HIS HEART’S DESIRE FREE.
The favorite part of Grayson’s wish journey… Everything! He shot an
arrow at Captain America’s shield; he met Spiderman, who tousled his
hair and called him by name; and he defeated Darth Maul after rigorous
Jedi training! Grayson, his mom, dad, and 2-year old sister, Olivia, did
it all – with “smiles to carry us for years to come,” his mother, Gabby,
proudly shared.
Returning home, Grayson’s wish trip continued to be a bright light amid
the challenges of his declining condition. “Little Grayson has graduated
from his Jedi training, and has gone into the Light,” said Gabby. “But his
wish experience was a chance to set his heart’s desires free; a chance to
experience the heart of the people who rooted him on and sent him love.
It allowed him to be the king of the castle, the captain of his ship.”This
young hero radiated love, and the spirit he shared with all of us inspires
us every day to make a difference in the lives of children like him.

I
n 2015, Make-A-Wish Hawaii granted the wish to be a volcanologist
to our 1,000th Hawaii wish kid. Donovan, a 13-year-old boy from
Waipahu, suffers from sickle cell anemia, which can cause excruciating
pain that can often only be eased by a full blood transfusion. His
medical journey has been difficult for him and his family, but one subject
always takes his mind off his condition: volcanoes.
Donovan wished to be a volcanologist, and where better to study volcanoes
than world-famous Kilauea? His father, Michael, recalled Donovan reading
the wish letter that delivered the best news of his life. “You could see his
face change as his eyes moved down the page. His eyes widened and
when he got to the end, he looked up at us and there were tears streaming
down his face. He had never been so happy. He couldn’t believe it.”
After a short plane ride down the island chain, Donovan and his parents
were welcomed by a surprise team of Hilo volunteers, waving signs with
Donovan’s name on them and cheering excitedly. Donovan’s joyous smile
hasn’t faded since! During five incredible days, Donovan met some of the
most prestigious scientists in meteorology, astronomy, volcanology and
geology, learning everything about volcanic rocks and craters he could
absorb from inside the laboratory, across the lava fields and from the sky in
a helicopter.
Because of his wish, Donovan was able to discover more about his one
true passion, inspiring him to dream big about the future and to imagine
all of its possibilities as a volcanologist. A wish is more than a day, or a
week; a wish is for life.

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.
