Make-A-Wish® Central & South Texas

Our Fall edition of Wish Filled Moments is here 💙 This special issue celebrates milestones made possible by our incredible community, like when the Foltermanns wished it forward by hosting a Wish Reveal party for an 8-year-old girl diagnosed with a rare disease. Her wish to visit Disney World and Universal Studios marked the end of her treatment, and this past June she finally experienced her dream trip — a joyful close to a year spent isolated at home.

Physical therapists help wish kids regain the strength and mobility they need to fully enjoy their wish experiences — just like Santiago ⭐ At just four years old, Santi was diagnosed with a brain tumor that caused him to lose his eyesight and the use of his right hand. His wish to go to the beach and feel the sand and water became an unforgettable adventure, where he swam with dolphins and met amazing sea creatures. This National Physical Therapy Month, we celebrate and thank the incredible therapists who help make wishes come true 💙 #MakeAWishCSTX #WishWednesday
