Amazing Gift for Bat Kid

 

The city of San Francisco raised approximately $105,000 for a little boy named, Miles Scott, who is suffering from leukemia, a dangerous cancer. Much of the money was used to buy sound systems and video screens so that the huge crowd could see and hear Miles. Miles had one wish and that was to be a Superhero.  His favorite Superhero was Batman so “Make A Wish Foundation” took notice and planned a special day for him. On November 15, 2013 the foundation rented out a part of San Francisco and replicated it to look like Gotham City. The crowed gathered to see 5 year old Miles Scott, aka, “bat kid” receive a giant chocolate key for the city. Soon this amazing event captured national attention and “bat kid” became a star.

After reading this article I felt a  very heartwarming feeling which I am sure the people in the city of San Francisco felt as well. I hope this story is noticed by others who will be inspired to then want to help sick people in our world. It is special moments like Miles experienced that mean so much to a person who is struggling to live and may not live long enough to enjoy a full life. I am very grateful for what “Make A Wish Foundation” did for this young boy and to cross the line by making even San Francisco look like Gotham City and raised all this money just to make a kids wish come true. Not only was this a great thing to do but imagine how happy Miles must have been to feel like a superhero and save the day.But I also hope he is saved from cancer himself. This story was so cool and amazing that my family and I made a donation to the “Make a Wish Foundation” so they could continue to make these special days for young children suffering from cancer. Now, what can you do?

Batman for a Day- Who’s the Real Hero?

Batman Make-a-Wish

In the crime ridden state of Texas, who is there to save everyone? How about a 7 year old boy with cancer? In a town in Texas, Kye, a boy who is struggling with cancer got his dreams turned into reality by the help of his town. The entire town was shut down and with the help of the fire department and police “crimes” were set up for the young boy dressed as Batman to save the town. They had another kid play Joker as well as a girl as Batwoman. Along the way of saving the town from the City Hall bomb and the bank robbery was Batman’s partner Robin. Many people are saying it’s nice to see one boy’s wish to come true, while others say they may have gone a bit overboard.

If you ask me, I think this was possibly one of the best ideas ever. Kye’s one wish was to be a hero for the day, like Batman. This act brought on by the town helped him in ways they may not realize. Now thanks to the entire town’s citizens support, Kye had his biggest dream come true while he is facing the toughest battle of his life. His family has spoken out about how much this meant to him and how it has helped with his self confidence. If this one town was able to make this boy’s dreams come true imagine what would happen if acts like this started to spread throughout the country. We could all help to change the lives of kids struggling with cancer.
