Wish Story: Soraya's Hawaii Trip
A wish can be a game-changer for a child and their family during their darkest time. Just ask 11-year-old Soraya, her parents, and two sisters.
Before her wish, Soraya and her family felt like giving up. Her wish to go to Hawaii was an adventure they took together that they never imagined was possible. At the heart of her wish was the desire to spend quality time together, because more time with Soraya means everything. The experience shifted the way they understand the time they spend together and the impact of community during a time of crisis.

    Hi Make-A-Wish Ohio, I was analyzing your UA-cam channel (Make-A-Wish Ohio) and are you struggling with subscribers and video views for monetization? Later I researched your channel and I saw your video SEO score is (0% Out of 100). Your video found that SEO optimization is not done in your videos due to which your videos are not going to your targeted people, your videos are getting fewer views and channel subscribers are getting fewer. I can help you to grow your youtube channal.

      Make a wish does grant pet and animal wishes. Many kids get puppies and horses from make a wish. Many kids also get to visit zoos and aquariums from make wish. So they do grant pet wishes. One girl got a kitten and one girl got a mini cow. They are able to do it.

    Five years ago, it has been so long since then. I honestly forgot these videos existed, but here I am revisiting it. I cannot believe I said "actually" 6 times in one sentence, yikes my grammar was horrible then. I know it's near impossible to prove that I am who was the kid in this video, but I just want to say thank you again, except this time 5 years later. Make A Wish like my mother said in this video really drived me to become who I am today and I am grateful for that. I could go on and on about how much has changed since then. Goodness how the years have flown by, I'm currently in highschool, and I'll be 15 in just 2 months. Thank you all so much, you really changed my life.

    Going to Camp Hi-Ho can be a thrill of a lifetime but the sheer impact of hearing an entire song at Camp Hi-Ho can be like slamming into concrete just like jumping off high cliffs bare feet. Hearing a single song at Camp Hi-Ho is embarrassing and I would leave the pavilion if I heard something. It’s somewhat like going to hell no offense Camp Hi-Ho.
