Sophia said that the previous year Make-A-Wish had helped her best friend, Andreas,who was seventeen years old and had been ill for a long time. "Andreas had always wanted to be a pilot, but he knew it probably wasn't possible because of his illness," explained Sophia."but, thanks to the Make-A-Wish Foundation in Arizona, Andreas had a brilliant day at Air Base in Phoenix.He flew in a helicopter and learned all about war planes." Sophia said one of the pilots had spent a lot of time with Andreas, answering his questions and explaining things to him. Andreas certainly had a day to remember, and Make-A-wish has helped over 144,000 children all over the world to 'live'their dreams.
