ELLE's Most Recently Granted Wishes
| | Chase - One ELLE of a 10th Birthday Orlando Celebration | | |
Chase wished for a family vacation so they can all enjoy everything that Orlando has to offer together.
In his wish letter Chase wrote," I have to fight and stay strong and positive for myself and my family. The reason the second wish is important to me is that I would like to do something special with my family so we have a special moment together just in case something does happen, I pray all the time I'm going to get through all of this once again and beat this cancer and be free from it for good".
Chase and family travelled to Orlando in February and had a wonderful time.
Chase especially enjoyed the Give Kids the World experience.
Please view this video thank you to ELLE from Chase:

Unfortunately, in May 2024, at 15 years old, Isam’s was faced with a recurrence of the cancer he thought he beat. Now, as he nears the end of his treatments, he is filled with hope and excitement to start getting back to teenage life!
