Make-A-Wish Milestones
Miley Cyrus is as down-to-earth and friendly as her reputation, concluded the family of 10-year-old Rancho Peñasquitos cancer patient KaSandra Dang. Hospitalized from April through August for treatment of a rare form of cancer, KaSandra was too ill to attend Cyrus’ September concert in Anaheim. But her health improved, and the Make-a-Wish Foundation flew her to Memphis, Tenn., late last month to briefly meet the 16-year-old singer and see her show.
“Miley stayed with us way longer than we had expected (about 10 minutes),” said Nicholas Stanton, who is engaged to KaSandra’s mom, Tuyet Bu. “She autographed as many things as we asked her to, and she posed for as many photos as we wanted.”
KaSandra even joined in the concert’s final song, “It’s the Climb,” voicing lyrics she lives out every day...
Another Make-a-Wish is being granted tonight at the Project Concern International gala at the Del Mar Fairgrounds. Sixteen-year-old Erik Hernandez, an El Centro youth being treated for a chronic life-threatening condition following an automobile accident, said his wish was to feed the children of Africa. So, with a $3,000 check from Make-A-Wish, Project Concern is creating an Erik’s Harvest program to support urban gardens in Zambia and fish farming in Malawi.“It’s the first time a child has chosen to grant his wish to someone else. He could have gone to Disneyland, met a star or done anything, said Project Concern’s Shawn Ruggeiro.
Singer Bonnie Raitt also will be at the event to present a Project Concern award to her friend, African singer Oliver “Tuku” Mtukudzi.
