Johnson Brunetti Makes a Wish Come True

Each year, the Financial Services Firm of Johnson Brunetti holds an annual client appreciation summer picnic for their clients.  This year was no different, as folks turned out for a huge family event at High Meadow Resort in North Granby on July 11th. However, also in attendance was a special family, the Vallones from South Windsor, CT.

Sarah Vallone and her three sons, 15-year old Tyler, 11-year old Ethan, and 11-month old Grady, along with Kim Smith, Development Director from Make-A-Wish Connecticut, were there to thank Joel Johnson, his staff, and clients for making Ethan’s wish for a new swim spa installed at his home come true.

Ethan, who has had muscle tone and pain issues since a very young age, loves the water, especially because it offers therapeutic treatment for his muscles. His mother is confident that this “wish” is going to make a notable difference in his quality of life.

“This is exactly what Ethan needs to improve his muscle tone and our goal is that this may help him one-day walk,” said Ethan’s mother, Sarah. “I can’t thank the employees at Make-a-Wish and Johnson Brunetti enough for making this happen.”

“For us, it’s about giving back to our community on behalf of Johnson Brunetti and our clients. To see the smile on Ethan’s face and know that this will help him and his family…it’s hard to describe the feeling we all get from that”, said Joel Johnson, Managing partner of Johnson Brunetti.
