Illinois—The Make-A-Wish Foundation grants the wishes of children with life-threatening medical conditions to enrich the human experience with hope, strength, and joy. It is the largest wish-granting charity in the world, granting more than 127,000 wishes to children around the world since 1980. The Idaho Chapter of the Make-A-Wish Foundation recently contacted Three Angels Broadcasting Network (3ABN) to inform them of a special request.

Eight-year-old Sarah Wolfe, a devout Seventh-day Adventist who currently receives treatments for a brain tumor, made a request not to go to Disney World or meet some super star actor or athlete, but to be a guest on 3ABN's Kids Time and perform with the Kids Time Singers.

Sarah has endured seven surgeries for tumors in her brain and spinal column, loss of the ability to walk, and loss of the ability to talk. She continues to reflect the strength and courage that only a soul surrendered to the hope and faith of Christ could and would exemplify. She often consoles her family, especially her mom, Denise Wolfe, by saying “It’s allright; I told Jesus and He knows all about it. It will be allright."

Mollie Steenson, 3ABN general manager, said, “It is a blessing to partner with Make-A-Wish Foundation to grant this special request for little Sarah. I am overwhelmed that our programming has made such an impact on the community, especially the children. That Sarah would choose to be on Kids Time above any other wish she could have made in the world is truly humbling.”

On Tues., June 14, at 9:00 a.m. at the 3ABN studios in Thompsonville, Ill., Sarah’s fondest wishes came true during the taping of her grand, worldwide television debut on her favorite program, Kids Time. The program with Sarah aired on July 16, 2005.
