"Three-year-old Lillian's favorite place in the world is the playground. She often has trouble walking on her own, but when she flies high on the swings, those challenges disappear.

At birth, Lillian was diagnosed with a life threatening respiratory condition. The sweet little girl has had some setbacks, but has not lost her joy or her love for the outdoors. She can often be found swinging and racing down the slide of a playground. So, when volunteer wish granters met with Lillian, it was clear that having her own backyard play-set would be the perfect wish!

The day that her play-set arrived, the happy little girl could not contain her excitement. She was all smiles at her wish celebration with her family and friends. As she spent the day playing with her siblings on her new play-set, Lillian's dreams came to life. Lillian's wish brought her hope, strength, and joy not only on that day, but over and over again in the lifetime of memories she will create on her backyard playground." --- Make-A-Wish® --
