Korbin

Last November, an ambulance transported Korbin to the hospital because he couldn’t breathe and tests showed that his heart was only functioning at 23% capacity. He was soon diagnosed with Lupus disease, a condition causing his immune system to attack his own body. After about a week in the ICU, his heart made a comeback, working at 50% capacity, and he continued dialysis treatments 6 days/week. Unfortunately, Lupus is a chronic disease, so he will likely need life-long treatment.  Now 12-years-old, Korbin is an avid gamer and loves all things Nintendo. When we interviewed him over the phone, he immediately wished for a Nintendo Switch and a variety of his favorite games. Wishes & More was thrilled to not only grant his wish, but also provide a memory with a special delivery of his wish!  We called up our friends at the MN State Troopers Assn. and the group from Grand Rapids jumped on-board and made a special delivery of Korbin’s wish items with some flashing lights and a big surprise!  What does a young teen think when vehicles with blue flashing lights appear at his home – ‘Oh, oh, am I in trouble!?’  But when he saw their smiles and the bright colored packages, his concern turned into joy and he knew his Nintendo Switch had arrived!  Click to read the article from his local paper and the TV News snippet sharing his special wish day!
