Jason’s Wish to Have a Greenhouse | Make-A-Wish Central & Western NC

When Jason was diagnosed with leukemia, his life completely changed. Waking up for school every morning was replaced with hospital visits and treatments. While growing up, he had a blueberry bush and a fig tree in his backyard. He loved going into the backyard and picking fresh blueberries and figs; however, the animals would always get to the fruit before he could. For his wish, Jason knew he wanted a greenhouse to protect his blueberries and other plants and vegetables he likes to grow.
When Make-A-Wish supporters at Metrolina Greenhouses heard about Jason’s wish, they couldn’t wait to jump in and help make it come true. During Jason’s long stays at the hospital, the team at Metrolina Greenhouses worked to prepare Jason’s backyard for the wish. The greenhouse was filled with all of Jason’s favorite fruits, plants and vegetables including tomatoes and cucumbers. When Jason first saw his greenhouse, he was immediately overcome with happiness and excitement. He was speechless and couldn’t believe his eyes that his wish came true. Jason’s mom said, “He was completely surprised and appreciative of all that was done for him.”

He could have asked for anything in the world, but asks for something so simple. Beautiful story. Stay strong.

Our country thanks you Make-A-Wish! Great work.
What a unique kid!

I know this guy personally. He is a really great person.

It's a shame there is nothing like this for adults who have had illnesses all our lives to look forward to. I was a sick children's child from 3 years old until 16 years old. God bless all of these people. If I knew who or how to start something like this for adults who have survived the childhood hospital lives, I'd love to know.
