Dyllyn was always cheerful and smiling through the hard work

Dyllyn’s first surgery didn’t go as planned, but he remained positive and underwent additional surgery. Even though he was scared, he was very cooperative with the hospital staff. He also shared his feelings and discussed any fears or hesitation, and valued their care. Dyllyn was always cheerful and smiling through the hard work. 

He was nominated by Jennifer Schaefer, his Child Life Specialist at Franciscan Missionaries of Our Lady Health System. Kids Wish Network honored Dyllyn for his bravery and positivity as a Hero of the Month.

Kids Wish Network has been making dreams come true for children since 1997. We are dedicated to infusing hope, creating happy memories, and improving the quality of life for children experiencing life-altering situations. We started with the single purpose of granting wishes to children suffering from life-threatening conditions but have since created additional programs to benefit kids nationwide, including Hero of the Month, Project Toy Drop, Holiday of Hope Gift Banks, and A Child Forever Funeral Assistance.
