🎂 Happy 15th Birthday, Haley! 🎂

This shy gal waddled to us from Ripley’s Aquarium of the Smokies and prefers cozy hangouts with her best bud, Atreyu. She’s also the proud mom of rambunctious little Levi, which might explain why she enjoys her peace and quiet!

Help us wish Haley a fantastic birthday in the comments! 👇

✨ 𝓦𝓲𝓼𝓱 𝓦𝓮𝓭𝓷𝓮𝓼𝓭𝓪𝔂 ✨ On her 6th birthday, Journey from Pawleys Island became exactly what she dreamed of — 𝗮 𝗺𝗲𝗿𝗺𝗮𝗶𝗱.🧜‍♀️

Journey lives with a blood disorder, and much of her young life has involved hospital visits, treatments, and challenges most kids never face. But on her wish day, she was celebrated with a mermaid makeover, a limo ride, a blue carpet entrance at Ripley’s Aquarium, and a VIP mermaid show. Surrounded by family, friends, mermaids, and cheering supporters, Journey felt pure joy.

“It means the world,” her mom said. “She has so many supporters. So many people that love her. Honestly, I cannot imagine going through this alone.”

And Journey’s heart was just as full. 💙 “𝗜 𝗹𝗼𝘃𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗮𝗹𝗹 𝗯𝗲𝗰𝗮𝘂𝘀𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗰𝗮𝗻 𝗯𝗲 𝗮 𝗺𝗲𝗿𝗺𝗮𝗶𝗱 𝘁𝗼𝗼,” she said.

Wishes like Journey’s create more than smiles. They provide emotional strength, build confidence, and remind families that they are not alone in the hardest of times.

As we close out our Summer of Wishes, you can help bring hope and joy to more children like Journey: wish.org/sc/ways-help-us
