Joseph's wish

Mid 2007 saw our first wish being granted to Joseph. Joseph suffers from Spinal Muscular Atrophy Type II. He was nominated by a close family friend who described Joseph as a ‘bright, charming and enthusiastic eight year old who deserves a special wish’.

The wish was for a home spa, to be used daily, this would form part of his therapeutic routine and would have major benefits for him.

A ‘soft tub’ spa was researched and with the help of Swales of Laxey, the tub was brought from America to the Isle of Man. Swales continue to service and monitor the chemicals etc for the spa at no charge to the family of the charity.

Joseph has seen such benefits from this wish and continues to use it daily as part of his routine.

This wish was a very special one for the charity too, as this was the wish that launched the charity.

Wish Upon A Dream is very proud to be able to grant wishes for such brave children.
