Aymen is a 13-year-old who was admitted for acute appendicitis. He underwent surgery and needed additional surgery for abscesses. He pushed through all the pain, trying to walk, and playing with volunteers in the playroom. Aymen was also compliant with staff during the discomfort of IV changes and blood draws. He’s been very patient, polite, and respectful throughout his stay in the hospital. Kids Wish Network is happy to reward Aymen 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.
