On May 1, the world celebrated World Wish Day, a special day dedicated to honoring and raising awareness for the Make-A-Wish Foundation. Among the many advocates for this noble cause is Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, who took to social media to share his personal experience and encourage others to support the organization.
In a heartfelt video post on Facebook, Johnson spoke about the power of granting wishes for children with life-threatening medical conditions, which he has been doing for almost half of his life. He recalled his first wish as a rookie pro wrestler in 1997, when a young fan’s wish was to meet him, then known as “Rocky Maivia.” Johnson said that meeting this child changed his life, and since then, he has been granting wishes for kids, teens, and families, making a profound impact on their lives.
Johnson emphasized the importance of taking care of the children and putting a smile on their faces, but he also acknowledged the impact that granting wishes has on the families, who are going through the same challenges as the kids. He described how every wish brings tears of joy to the family members, who are grateful for the positive energy and hope that it brings to their lives.
To support the Make-A-Wish Foundation on World Wish Day, Johnson encouraged his followers to “raise their hands” and visit the organization’s website, wish.org/worldwishday, to make a donation or learn more about how they can help. He expressed his gratitude to all those who have supported Make-A-Wish over the years and reiterated how this organization has changed his life.
Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson is not only a Hollywood superstar and an inspiring figure, but also a compassionate human being who uses his platform to make a difference in the world. His campaign to support the Make-A-Wish Foundation on World Wish Day is a reminder that a small act of kindness can have a huge impact on someone’s life.
