Make-A-Wish Connecticut made a wish come true for Ella Wright from Wilton. Ella suffers from a serious form of epilepsy and Make-A-Wish created a play space at her home for her and her friends to enjoy.
Make-A-Wish Connecticut grants an average of around 200 wishes each year, according to their website, "each one a life-affirming testament to hope, inspiration, and resilience."
"Wishes strengthen wish kids and their families, rally communities together, and change the lives of everyone involved. Experience the stories of those who know firsthand the power of a wish-come-true."
All Big Y locations in Connecticut and Massachusetts are selling $1 stars to benefit Make-A-Wish to grant wishes to local children with life-threatening illnesses.
