Marshall County, Ala. (WHNT) – In the weeks leading up to News 19’s Wishes Can’t Wait telethon benefiting Make-A-Wish Alabama, we want to introduce you to just a few of the 78 children in North Alabama waiting for the foundation to grant their wishes. Estrella wants a pool, not just for herself, but for her nieces and nephews to enjoy too. “[We can] swim and have fun,” Estrella said. Right now, they splash around in a small round plastic kiddie pool. She’s asking Make-A-Wish Alabama for an upgrade.

MADISON, Ala. (WHNT) – 78 children in North Alabama alone are Wish Kids with Make-A-Wish Alabama. This means 78 children living with critical illnesses are waiting for the organization to make their wildest dreams come true. For 13-year-old Micah, that wish is to go to Washington, D.C. Micah was born with several heart defects caused by something called Heterotaxy. “His heart was just failing, and he needed a transplant,” his mom Leah said. The newborn couldn’t leave the hospital until he had one.
