Jacob - I wish I could meet...
Thomas the Tank Engine.
Wish Team:
DENNIS DAWKINS and BELINDA BAKER |
Three-year-old Jacob quickly won the hearts
of his wish team
when he sat in Belinda’s lap and told her all about trains and
Thomas the Tank Engine.
In fact, Thomas is one of Jacob’s favorite characters in the world
and a trip to Strasburg, Pennsylvania seemed the perfect wish for this
adorable little boy. Jacob’s wish was adopted by Leitch, Inc. in
Chesapeake which means their employees helped raise the money to make
his wish come true. Because of that, 12 representatives from Leitch came
to the airport to send Jacob and his parents off in style in their private
plane to Lancaster.
While in Pennsylvania, Jacob was not only able to meet the Big Blue Engine,
he also had the chance to drive a
steam engine and be an engineer. Jacob charmed everyone he met and became
so accustomed to being the center of attention that once, when he and
his mother walked into a restaurant, he looked up at her and said, “do
these people want to meet me too?”
The Make-A-Wish chapter in Lancaster was instrumental in making Jacob’s
wish absolutely perfect as they were the assisting chapter. We often assist
other chapters in making wishes come true for children whose wish brings
them
to Virginia.
