Gaia is an 8-year-old girl from Italy who wished to have a Husky puppy. After 2 years of battling acute lymphoblastic leukemia, Gaia’s wish day finally arrived! What young Gaia wished for with all her heart was a friend, with four fluffy paws. But to truly surprise Gaia, everyone around her had to keep it a secret until the very last moment.
One day, Gaia’s mom invited her school friends over for a party. At one point, Gaia was asked to close her eyes before her little puppy was put in her arms. Make–A–Wish captured the moment when Gaia opened her eyes and was completely overwhelmed with joy. Will you help more children, just like Gaia?
