I wish to have a camper

Ryan, 16 cystic fibrosis Nowthen

Ryan and his family have been dealing with the realities of life with cystic fibrosis since he was fourteen months old, including breathing treatments and numerous medications. “When he was little it was hard to pull him away from playing to do his treatments,” says his mom. Ryan wished to have a camper so he could create new memories with his family. In Ryan’s words, “It’s an adventure without doctors, nurses and hospitals.” His mom adds on, “We have felt blessed that there are so many understanding, giving and loving people out in the world.” Hope is essential TOGETHER, we create life-changing wishes for children with critical illnesses.
