BOCA RATON, FLA. (WSVN) - Make-A-Wish Southern Florida is making a young fan’s dreams come true with what they have cooking up their sleeve.
10-year-old, Jackson thought it was a normal travel day with his baseball team in Boca Raton, but when he got to their training facility, his teammates, friends, and family shared the exciting news; He’s headed to California in September to meet his favorite player, Fernando Tatis of the San Francisco Padres.
“He would want like a new baseball bat, a new glove, and that’s Jackson. He doesn’t want a toy,” said a woman.
The surprise couldn’t happen to a more deserving child.
Jackson has been battling leukemia at Joe DiMaggio Children’s Hospital and he is finally in remission and healthy enough to travel through the Make-A-Wish Foundation.
