Twelve-year-old Lyla, who was diagnosed with a rare nervous system disorder, wished to be a member of the U.S. Navy\u2019s elite special operations force and got the chance to participate in simulated training and combat exercises on land and in the water with former SEALs. Thanks to Make-A-Wish Hawai&#x2018;i, multiple community partners and more than 100 volunteers, Lyla\u2019s wish came true and the experience gifted her with lasting memories.<\/p>\n<p>For 17-year-old Manuel IV (aka Mano), all he wished for was to be able to refurbish his family\u2019s heirloom 1992 Mustang GT 5.0. Mano and his father, Manuel III, worked on the car a lot in the two years since the teen\u2019s surgery that removed a portion of an invasive brain tumor. During that time, Mano learned how to replace the brakes and suspension, and conduct routine maintenance.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_97657\" style=\"width: 810px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/hawaii.carpentermediagroup.com\/midweekpro\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2022\/03\/20191115-17-17-50.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-97657\" src=\"https:\/\/hawaii.carpentermediagroup.com\/midweekpro\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2022\/03\/20191115-17-17-50.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" class=\"size-full wp-image-97657\" srcset=\"https:\/\/hawaii.carpentermediagroup.com\/midweekpro\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2022\/03\/20191115-17-17-50.jpg 800w, https:\/\/hawaii.carpentermediagroup.com\/midweekpro\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2022\/03\/20191115-17-17-50.jpg?resize=450,300 450w, https:\/\/hawaii.carpentermediagroup.com\/midweekpro\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2022\/03\/20191115-17-17-50.jpg?resize=768,512 768w, https:\/\/hawaii.carpentermediagroup.com\/midweekpro\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2022\/03\/20191115-17-17-50.jpg?resize=335,223 335w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-97657\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Make-A-Wish Hawai\u2018i granted Paige\u2019s desire to dance with <em>Frozen<\/em>\u2019s Anna and Elsa at Disney World.<br \/><strong>PHOTO COURTESY MAKE-A-WISH HAWAI\u2018I<\/strong><\/p><\/div>\n<p>\u201cWhen we surprised Mano with the Mustang makeover, complete with a new paint job, stereo system, etc., he literally jumped up (and onto his father) with joy,\u201d recalls Trini Kaopuiki Clark, president and CEO of Make-A-Wish Hawai&#x2018;i. \u201cIt was beautiful to witness and it\u2019s something I\u2019ll never forget.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Granting wishes like these isn\u2019t as easy as snapping one\u2019s fingers or waving a magic wand.

From the time a critically ill child gets referred to the nonprofit (either by a doctor, family member or friend), they\u2019re partnered with a Make-A-Wish Hawai&#x2018;i volunteer who helps them identify their wish. Then, depending on the wish, the nonprofit works with additional businesses, organizations and individuals to make the wish come true. Dreams, desires and goals of all shapes and sizes float through the Make-A-Wish Hawai&#x2018;i office every year, and each request gives the staff and its myriad volunteers something to fight for.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAll wishes are special, and I\u2019m not just saying that,\u201d says Clark. \u201cTo see the joy on a child\u2019s face and the emotion and gratitude on the family\u2019s faces, it\u2019s hard to describe.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Clark recently celebrated her third year with the nonprofit, but giving back and doing good for others has long been her passion. Since her days with KHON2 News, where she spent nearly two decades, Clark has been using her time, talents and energy for good, most notably leading the station\u2019s philanthropic efforts via the Laulima Giving Program.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_97659\" style=\"width: 810px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/hawaii.carpentermediagroup.com\/midweekpro\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2022\/03\/hamb0y-manoswishreveal-45.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-97659\" src=\"https:\/\/hawaii.carpentermediagroup.com\/midweekpro\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2022\/03\/hamb0y-manoswishreveal-45.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" class=\"size-full wp-image-97659\" srcset=\"https:\/\/hawaii.carpentermediagroup.com\/midweekpro\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2022\/03\/hamb0y-manoswishreveal-45.jpg 800w, https:\/\/hawaii.carpentermediagroup.com\/midweekpro\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2022\/03\/hamb0y-manoswishreveal-45.jpg?resize=450,300 450w, https:\/\/hawaii.carpentermediagroup.com\/midweekpro\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2022\/03\/hamb0y-manoswishreveal-45.jpg?resize=768,512 768w, https:\/\/hawaii.carpentermediagroup.com\/midweekpro\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2022\/03\/hamb0y-manoswishreveal-45.jpg?resize=335,223 335w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-97659\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Manuel IV, better known as Mano, got his wish of having his family\u2019s 1992 Mustang refurbished.

Though the pandemic altered the way the nonprofit operated, the mission to grant life-changing wishes for children with critical illnesses never stopped.

Through the Decades\u201d; see additional story on this page). That ability to pivot and adapt leaves Clark confident that the organization will overcome any challenge to ensure the state\u2019s critically ill children can experience joy during tough times.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cA wish gives children battling illnesses a choice and some control in their life during a time when the challenges they face feel daunting,\u201d she says. \u201cA wish gives a child hope; it empowers them and gives them strength as they look forward to brighter days ahead.
