or read about the story on their website.
Make A Wish Water Well Completed
Alyssa was granted a wish from Make A Wish. She could travel anywhere. Do anything. Meet anyone famous. Her choice. She decided to have a well built for a village in Africa. This was inspired by the Matthew West song “Do Something” and the book “A Long Walk To Water” by Linda Sue Park.
Make A Wish generously fulfilled this wish! Now, the village of Murehwa, Zimbabwe has fresh, clean, water flowing from a new well. Thank you, Make A Wish for making Alyssa’s wish come true!
Alyssa Shares Her Testimony
Alyssa’s Youth Minister interviewed Alyssa. The video will be used at the youth retreat. Alyssa will be unable to attend the retreat as she is scheduled to be inpatient at the hospital receiving treatment. She is grateful to be able to participate in the retreat through the video.
