Walk For Wishes This Weekend- Find Out How Your Donation Helps

Walk For Wishes is this weekend at the Fountains At Farah. Find out how you can be a superhero for kids like Evalise, who suffers from short gut syndrome.

The Make-A-Wish foundation is a wonderful organization that works hard to grant wishes for children diagnosed with life-threatening conditions within the United States. Every 38 minutes, the Make-A-Wish foundation is able to grant the wish of one of these special children.

Children like 6 year-old Evalise.

Evalise battles short gut syndrome, a condition that happens when part of a person's small intestine is missing or removed during surgery. At such a young age, Evalise has had to deal with trials and tribulations that adults have difficulty facing.

Through the Make A Wish North Texas EL Paso Regional Office, Evalise's wish of traveling to Hawaii to meet a mermaid became a reality. Trips like this give children facing life-threatening illness hope, strength and joy.

Check out the photos above of the beautiful Evalise and Make A Wish helping make her dream come true.

One way that you can help make other children like Evalise's wishes come true is through Walk For Wishes. Walk For Wishes is a new 1 mile event thanks to Hospitals of Providence- Providence Children's Hospitals. The event will be this Saturday, April 9th. The walk is a fun superhero-themed event to help support the Make A Wish Foundation at the Fountains at Farah. The goal is to raise $50,000 to help grant wishes for children in El Paso. All of the proceeds will be going to wishes right here in the Sun City.

There will be vendor booths set up around the event along with a super fun Kids' Zone! Kids' Zone will have face painting, balloon artists, Disney Princesses, Superheroes and a photo booth.
