MANCHESTER â A 4-year-old Manchester girlâs wish came true May 22 thanks to Make-A-Wish Vermont.
Avery is living with cystic fibrosis and for her 4th birthday she received a Peppa Pig Camper toy that she loves to play with.
But the toy has created a desire in Avery to be able to go camping for real, or head to the beach or visit grandparents, as she does in her mind while playing with her Peppa Pig Camper.
âHer wish is for a life-sized version of her toy, so that she can finally go camping with her family,â according to Make-A-Wish Vermont. âShe dreams of going to the beach, visiting her grandparents, having sâmores and marshmallows at a fire pit, and sharing a bunk bed with her little brother, Calvin.â

You know him as the most interesting man in the world. He s the dapper, bearded, life of every party man who lives vicariously through himself. For almost 10 years, Jonathan Goldsmith was the face of Dos Equis beer. Been around a little bit that s for sure, said Goldsmith.
Goldmsith lives in Manchester, Vermont. What many people don t know is he has always been active in children s charities. Now he s hoping his television success can help raise thousands of dollars for Make-A-Wish Vermont. What better thing can we do than to provide these dream things for these children that are going through a rough time? said Goldsmith.
