Lina and Malachi's Wish to have an accessible backyard makeover
Siblings Lina and Malachi were both diagnosed with Leigh Syndrome, a mitochondrial disorder, that has affected every aspect of their lives. Having an accessible backyard provides them safe access to the outdoors and opportunities to enjoy nature in a variety of ways!
We were fortunate to partner with several community partners to bring this incredible wish to life in addition to having the support of members of the local gardening community and Make-A-Wish volunteers assisting with the work days.
~Laurel Babcock of Laurel's Garden Design created a native plant layout that brings in a variety of sensory plants for sight, touch and scent. Local plant nurseries donated a wide assortment of plants needed: Hoffman Nursery, Homewood Nursery, Native Plants Matter, Plantworks Nursery, and Taylor's Nursery.
~Cameron Conklin of Bull City Gardens designed and built the raised beds to perfectly fit Lina and Malachi's wheelchairs.
~Triangle Pond Management helped design a pond that would fit the space and be accessible for the children to interact with the water. Local Plumb Pros installed the water hookup and Rick Beddingfield Electric did the electrical hookup making sure the pond is secure and safe.
~Cade Inc installed the concrete pathways and helped find the perfect wheelchair accessible swing set that allows the kids to enjoy the movement.
~Raleigh Tree Services provided valuable assistance with clearing the backyard to meet the needs of the project.
~Our partners Alpha Kappa, Chi Omega at NC State joined us to dig, rake, plant and build over the multi-day project and threw the most thoughtful wish celebration.
~And the Lowes Pros from a variety of local Lowes Home Improvement stores pitched in with materials, supplies, and teamwork to make the build day one to remember!
Our thanks to Brian Donovan, etc Media, Wilmington, NC for capturing Lina and Malachi's wishes so beautifully!

I love this so much! My son’s wish to meet Sebastian Aho was granted in January. Our kids have been through so much and truly deserve the joy these wishes brought them.🏒🧡🎗️
This was 6 years ago. I hope and pray that Chase is still okay, and is a Buffalo Sabres fan now. That's a tough one I know, and it wouldn't really be right to change horses like that. So that was tongue in cheek for sure.

@@TheYankeesfan1993 Often when a child is fighting a critical illness they will wear masks to help protect them from germs. It's a safety measure we see frequently with our wish families. This video is from 2017 and is very fitting with the climate today. :)

Hi I'm going to Hawaii can you watch my video? Thx
Mak-A-Wish was amazing. I also wished to go to Disney World, and I had a blast. Make-A-Wish helped my family and I over come my illness that we were dealing with. Unfortunately it's not cureable, but it's definely manageable. I'm still thankful twenty years after my wish was granted and I couldn't be happier more importantly stronger than I am right now. Thank you Make-A-Wish for everything.
this is very beautiful. hope Kai comes again to hawaii...Aloha family!!!
