Amanda’s Magical Moment (Sponsored by Brody Jenner)
Lake Arrowhead, CA — Eighteen year-old Amanda loves to read and learn about health and science. Though she is living with cystic fibrosis, Amanda has dreams of graduating college and becoming a nurse so she can help others like her who are living with life-threatening illnesses. When her wish granters asked about her most heartfelt wish, Amanda, who was admitted into Biola University’s pre-nursing program, wished for something that would help her achieve her goal of becoming a nurse; college tuition.
Amanda’s wish day came as a complete surprise. She thought that she was simply going out to lunch with her family, but when she arrived at her favorite pizza place it was adorned with Make-A-Wish banners, balloons, and festive decorations in honor of her special day. She was showered with gifts including Biola University t-shirts, bags, banners and school supplies along with a framed plaque congratulating her on entering the nursing program.
The rest of the afternoon was spent sharing laughs, smiles, and lots of pizza with everyone at her party. Amanda talked about how exited she was to be attending college and is very thankful that The Matt Leinart Foundation and Make-A-Wish is helping her realize her dream of becoming a nurse and helping others
