LONG BEACH, Calif.( November 2022): Noah suddenly became very ill. Testing revealed he had adrenal insufficiency, a condition where the adrenal glands do not produce enough steroid hormones. It also causes him to have brittle bones, which limit his physical activities. The slightest tumble can cause major damage to his bones, like his recent fall that fractured his back in multiple places. Noah also copes with many other conditions, and over the years, his medical struggles have caused him to spend weeks in the hospital, along with many holidays and birthdays.

Like most teens, he’s all about gaming. But for Noah it’s more than just fun and games, it’s a safe outlet where he can feel active without worrying about injuring himself. His wish coordinator shared in the excitement of revealing his dream coming true during a video call with his family. She told his parents to bring Noah the big box that had his wish inside.“What box?” asked Noah who was completely unaware of the massive package secretly tucked away in another room. When he opened it, his mouth gaped open in awe and disbelief. Kids Wish Network gave him the ultimate top-of-the-line gaming system, an Alienware gaming laptop! It was an amazing feeling receiving such a special gift beyond his wildest dreams.“Did we do okNoah?” joked his wish coordinator who was so happy to see him overcome with joy. “Well you did BETTER than ok!”Noah teased back. “Thank you! Thank you!”

Many Thanks
