Make-A-Wish: Hawaii in a Hammock

Willie's hammock

10-year-old Willie wished to take a nap on a hammock between two palm trees on the beach in Hawaii.

Willie was flown to Hawaii, where he and his family were met by lei greeters. They spent seven days in Hawaii, enjoying the sights. As part of their activities, they took a snorkeling cruise.

Make-A-Wish® got reservations at the Hyatt Regency in Maui, since they had hammocks readily available. If that weren't enough, the hotel picked the best hammock and designated it "Willie's hammock" for Willie to enjoy whenever he wanted.

When Willie returned home, a local store had donated a hammock for his backyard so that Willie can relax and remember his Hawaii trip whenever he wishes!
