Jesse, 7 years old, NJ

Wish submitted by:

Jesse is a speedy kid who is always getting into something! He enjoys spending time outdoors with his siblings, cousins, and friends. He loves football and has just signed up to play flag football for the first time. He's a big fan of Sonic the Hedgehog (especially Knuckles and Shadow), Super Mario Bros., and the Ninja Turtles, among others. Jesse is such a sweet boy who loves to cuddle with his adoptive mom after a long day of running around and having fun.

Jesse says he wants to be a surgeon when he grows up! He believes the game Operation will help him practice removing things from people's bodies that don't belong there. Kids have such wonderful imaginations! While a board game won't teach him how to become a surgeon, Operation will provide hours of fun as he pretends to care for patients and explores his dream career. This simple game could be the first step in inspiring a future surgeon. Every big dream starts somewhere!
