Shocking Surprise Leaves Wish Kid Speechless

BURLINGTON, Kansas (July 2023): Cohen didn’t suspect anything on the car ride over to Bomgaars.  He thought it was just a typical day of shopping at his favorite store. That was until they arrived. There were balloons and a warm welcome, preluding a very special announcement. A store associate joyfully shared with Cohen that Kids Wish Network was making his dream come true, sending his family to Disney World, Universal, and LEGOLAND! The shocking surprise left him speechless. That all changed after he got home. Now Cohen can’t stop talking about his wish. He and his siblings are beaming with excitement and can’t wait to travel next month. 

A special thank you to Bomgaars for their participation and to Hoover’s Thriftway for providing festive balloons to celebrate Cohen’s wish coming true.
