ItÂ’s another 12-hour day on the set of the music video. Set designers, producers, hair and makeup artists Â… all scramble under the bright studio lights. Their mission: to help Ivy, who is diagnosed with brain cancer, create a lasting artistic work Â… to grant her one true wish.

Ivy’s desire never falters during the long hours of work as her wish comes true. She participates in every step to turn her song, “At Ease,” into a professional-caliber music video. One of her teachers who went to war in the Middle East inspired her to write the lyrics. Ivy’s creative vision drives every aspect of the production, right down to its 1940s-inspired visual flare. The music? She wrote and recorded it before she was diagnosed with brain cancer.

Just getting to Seattle to have her wish granted is a tribute to her attitude. To be here, Ivy measured her progress in standing up out of her wheelchair, taking a few more steps than she did the previous day, reclaiming her guitar chops.

The work comes to fruition when more than 200 people join her at Seattle’s EMP Museum for the video premier of “At Ease.” Her success continues today, with the song available on iTunes. The music video is posted on YouTube and wish.org.

Ivy’s wish come true still inspires others – and Ivy herself. She knows people around the world can share her message of peace and find an emotional lift from her lyrics and melodies. And that gives her extra motivation to stay positive as she battles brain cancer.

Llysa is a born actress. SheÂ’s played too many roles to remember.

But she’ll never forget her role as the White Rabbit from Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland. She has an audience of just one – wish kid Robin.

The store door closes behind Adan after a whirlwind shopping spree. Suddenly, Toys“R”Us seems a bit quieter. But the cheer and optimism he brought into the store with him lingers long after he’s left.

The Toys“R”Us team members who helped grant his wish know Adan faced an ordeal that few will ever understand or experience. And they know he faced his liver transplant with poise, determination and unfailing cheer.

Being part of his wish touches the hearts of Gloria and her team members at Toys“R”Us in Ventura, California. Together, they share Adan’s joy as he celebrates the triumph of his recovery … and his happiest birthday ever.

Gloria later wrote to the Make-A-Wish Foundation^® to share her experience during AdanÂ’s visit. She explained how this Make-A-Wish^® visit made every team member feel more connected to their community.

“When any welcoming team member gets the opportunity to help make a child’s wish come true,” Gloria writes, “we go home with a feeling of SUCCESS.”

Since 1995, the Toys“R”Us Children’s Fund and Toys“R”Us, Inc. have supported the Make-A-Wish Foundation, providing more than $1.8 million to help grant the wishes of kids like Adan.

Emily rarely strays far from her local hospital. The distance from there to her home is a comfort zone Â… and itÂ’s also an emotional tether.

But today, her world expands. Emily boards a flight to Paris – a city she’s dreamed about since watching Audrey Hepburn star in the movie Sabrina. She’ll see the Eiffel Tower, relax on a sidewalk café, enjoy dinner during a luxurious Marina de Paris Seine River cruise.

Something even more profound will happen, though: EmilyÂ’s trip reassures her entire family that things will be OK. It gives Emily confidence to know she can live life again, just like any girl her age. It is her proof that she will experience life on her terms Â… and that the tumors she fights do not define her.

Monograms Travel® planned and donated Emily’s trip to Paris. Since 2009, Monograms Travel has donated $150,000 worth of travel vouchers to grant international travel wishes. Local support and guidance arranged through Monograms allows wish kids and their families to enjoy seamless, worry-free trips abroad.

Three young budding actors recently got their first big break as extras in the filming of “We Bought a Zoo” as part of their Make-A-Wish experience.

ItÂ’s another day closer to Christmas. Allison feels the spirit of the season in every word she hears. Although she canÂ’t see her decorations or express herself with words, thereÂ’s no mistaking her joy. And thereÂ’s no mistaking the melody of her favorite Christmas carols.

Last year, Make-A-Wish^® volunteers redecorated her room with reindeer, snowmen and polar bears. A group of carolers visited to help grant her wish. They sang all the holiday classics – as they sang “Santa Claus is Coming to Town,” St. Nick arrived to read some of AllisonÂ’s favorite stories.

But this Christmas will be the best yet. Allison enjoys her holiday décor all season long. She knows Christmas is nearly here … and everyone she cares about – Mom, Dad, Benjamin and Sara – is by her side to celebrate.
