++++ 1000 - There is hope as long as there are people like the ones at this charity and the many others involved in work like this.

Isn't that the truth! It restores your faith in humanity. I hope the kid grows up healthy and lives and long happy life.

Me too. Unfortunately, if an organization like Make-A-Wish is involved, that might be a long shot. Let's hope for a miracle though. God bless this kid and everyone who helped make his wish come true.

I enjoyed this and the other story with the kid in Seattle who got to be a crimefighter as well. One day when I make it big I would love to participate in something like this by funding it or donating usage of my cars or whatever.

I remember that story about the superhero kid in the Seattle area. He died about a year afterwards, but I'm glad that his wish of being a superhero came true.

BatKid kicked some ass. That was really great.

Make-a-Wish is a fantastic charity.

Sadly, many charitable organizations are a joke. Seems their sole purpose is to make the people running the charity wealthy.

If you have plans to donate to a charity, strongly consider Make-a-Wish. If you can't afford it, stop giving tips to dealers and send that cash to Make-a-Wish.
