Vinh, who goes by Johnny, was referred to Make-A-Wish Iowa in May 2018. Due to travel restrictions and medical schedules, his wish was waiting for several years.

Johnny finally got to go on his wish in September 2023. Johnny, his brother, grandmother and parents enjoyed a week at Walt Disney World Resort and Give Kids the World.

While children are waiting for their wish, their volunteer wish granters and staff Wish Specialists work to build excitement and anticipation.

We often send Countdown calendars with stickers so that children like Johnny can mark off the days until their big wish!
