Care package: Make-A-Wish, UPS help deliveryman dream come true for Stockton boy with leukemia Angelaydet Rocha, The Record
For a six-year-old Stockton boy, dreams do come true.
“We are doing something very special for him, so I think that he 100% deserves it and this is something unique for him,” said Josh Needles, president of UPS’ Northern California district.
It was all through the Make-A-Wish foundation wish-fulfillment program, which works to make dreams come true for children diagnosed with a critical illness.
“What’s amazing to see today is just such a vibrant child with so much resilience and just so excited just to be a part of something that is, you know, what a typical 6-year-old should be doing, dreaming about being a deliveryman,” said Jennifer Stolo, president and CEO of the Make-A-Wish Northeast & Central California & Northern Nevada chapter.
