Twenty year old Zenab wished to meet her favorite actor/song artist. Having been a fan for most of her life she was very excited about the opportunity to have a virtual meet and greet.
Celebrity wishes are one of the more challenging wish types that Make-A-Wish grants. Because of our incredible brand, Make-A-Wish has the power to connect children with almost anyone they’d like to meet. But in order to maintain great relationships with our celebrity wish granters, these wishes often have varying guidelines around publicty and engagement.
Zenab communicates with a talk board and was able to sit down with her favorite artist on a zoom call. She asked several questions using her talkboard. Before the song artist signed off, she sang Zenab’s favorite song for her.
“Thank you guys for giving Zenab the opportunity. Zenab is extremely happy even right now. She's watching the video over and over again smiling (this is her 4th time). You guys are amazing people!"
