April is World Wish Month. 91欧美激情 has teamed up with Make-A-Wish Mid-Atlantic to spotlight the amazing kids and volunteers who help make their wishes come true.
Choosing a wish was not a piece of cake for 15-year-old Tabitha Hyun.
The Baltimore, Maryland, high school freshman, who has been fighting leukemia, admits it was 鈥渒ind of hard to figure out what I wanted to do for my wish.鈥�
During a Make-A-Wish open house at 91欧美激情, Hyun鈥檚 father said his daughter was not exaggerating.
鈥淚t took a long time to kind of center in on what wish she wanted to do. I wouldn鈥檛 have minded if she said, 鈥業鈥檇 like to meet Lamar Jackson,鈥欌�� Dan Hyun said, laughing.
When Tabitha finally made up her mind, she chose with her heart 鈥� and her stomach.
鈥淢y wish was to meet chef Esther Choi in New York,鈥� she said. 鈥淪he seemed really cool, and I thought it would be a great wish.鈥�
The pick impressed Tabitha’s family, who traveled with her to the Big Apple.
鈥淚t was an incredible experience for the whole family, reminding us that even in the hardest times, good comes out of it,鈥� Dan said.
Thanks to Make-A-Wish Mid-Atlantic, Tabitha got to step into the kitchen at M艔kbar and make dumplings alongside Choi, who famously toppled Bobby Flay on “Iron Chef.”
鈥淚 thought she was really cool because she cooked Korean food, and I really like Korean food,鈥� Tabitha said.
Dan said Choi went above and beyond for his daughter.
鈥淗er and her team went all out. They had a special chef鈥檚 coat for Tabitha to autograph,鈥� he said. 鈥淪o many different presents, along with the actual experience.鈥�
Choi’s team researched Tabitha and discovered she is a huge Harry Potter fan, so they surprised her with treats fitting for a Hufflepuff.
鈥淪he鈥檚 incredibly busy, so even getting it on a calendar was not a small thing,鈥� Dan said. 鈥淔or us to know the sacrifice she made to carve out that time on behalf of our daughter.鈥�
Even with all the gifts and the experience of cooking, Tabitha said her favorite part was meeting Choi.
鈥淚 was kind of nervous, but she was a really nice person. Like, I loved being there,鈥� she said. 鈥淭hat was awesome.鈥�
As thrilled as his daughter was, Dan was just as grateful to Make-A-Wish Mid-Atlantic.
鈥淭hey recognize the difficulty families are going through,鈥� he said. 鈥淎nd it鈥檚 not trying to minimize those things but recognizing how some of these experiences can frame hope.鈥�
