Liam’s health journey began at his mother’s twenty-week ultrasound, when his parents found out something wasn’t right with his heart. Liam would be diagnosed with hypoplastic left heart syndrome, and at just three days old, would undergo his first open heart surgery. “Within hours after that, he had a cardiac arrest in front of my husband and I,” his mom Nicole says. “It changed me forever.” Liam would eventually undergo two more open heart surgeries, bringing the total to three for the four-year-old. “There were lots of appointments, echocardiograms, blood draws, EKGs, ER trips, specialists,” Nicole continues. “So many things for a little boy.”

Liam’s family would be introduced to the idea that he would be eligible for wish from a Facebook post. “We heard about Make-A-Wish prior to having Liam,” Nicole says. “We’ve always donated in the past, not realizing one day we’d be in these shoes. Liam couldn’t believe that he would be able to pick a wish just for him.” Liam’s fondest wish would find inspiration in one of his favorite toys. “He has a toy Peppa Pig camper, and he would ride all around the house with it,” Nicole share. “He says, “I want to be like Peppa!” - he wanted a camper just like her!”
