Season of Wishes: 4-year-old receives action figure shopping spree thanks to Make-A-Wish

We want to introduce you to an adorable 4-year-old boy named Jaylen.

Like most little boys, Jaylen absolutely loves superhero action figures. During this young New Carrollton residents brave battle with leukemia, he stayed busy by playing with his favorite superhero action figures. When Jaylen learned he was going to receive a wish from Make-A-Wish Mid-Atlantic, he knew exactly what he wanted - a shopping spree to add more action figures to his collection!

Thanks to Make-A-Wish, Jaylen's wish came true and he was treated like a VIP for the entire day of his wish. He took a limo ride to all of his shopping spree shops, and it gave him a day that focused on something other than his leukemia and treatment.

FOX 5 DC Cares is our station's campaign to highlight the work of charitable organizations and non-profits in our community. We hope by partnering with these groups, we can help them get their message out and reach their goals.

We are teaming up with Make-A-Wish Mid-Atlantic for their Season of Wishes campaign. Over the next several weeks, we will be sharing the wonderful work Make-A-Wish does in our area and how you can be part of the magic.
