Sophia, age 6
Milwaukee Stove & Furnace
Make-A-Wish Foundation® of Wisconsin

Six-year-old Sophia had just one wish – to travel to Walt Disney World® Resort and meet Cinderella. Thanks to the generosity of the folks at Milwaukee Stove and Furnace Supply Company and the Make-A-Wish Foundation® of Wisconsin, the little girl's wish came true.

Sophia and her family spent seven exciting days at the Disney Theme Parks and one magical evening at Cinderella's Castle. She was thrilled to eat dinner at Cinderella's Royal Table and watch fireworks on the princess's balcony.

Sophia's parents, too, enjoyed the trip. In a letter to the people at Milwaukee Stove, they said, "It [the trip] made us forget for seven days that she battled Leukemia for the last three years and will leave a lifetime of good memories for our whole family to cherish from our trip to Orlando. It's companies like Milwaukee Stove that help the Make-A-Wish Foundation give hope and put smiles on the faces of children who've been through or are still going through life-threatening illnesses."

According to Milwaukee Stove's Marketing Director Bill Geldon, Sophia's wish is one of eight wishes the Luxaire® distributor has helped to grant. "Our affiliation with a good organization like Make-A-Wish helps our dealers close sales, but it also gives us the opportunity to do something nice for local families. That's why we've developed a program that supports the Luxaire affiliation with Make-A-Wish and raises money for the children who can most benefit from it."
