A Massachusetts girl who recently completed treatment for a brain tumor was surprised with a dream trip on Monday.
The Make-A-Wish Foundation and Subaru of Wakefield surprised 10-year-old Anatole Pham Nguyen, of Newton, with a trip to Hawaii and a Hawaiian-themed send-off party with friends and family.
Anatole’s wish to visit Hawaii was inspired by her love of beaches, sea creatures and ocean conservation.
She thought she was delivering a thank you poster to the team at Subaru of Wakefield for their work with Make-A-Wish, but instead got the surprise of a lifetime.
“It was a tough year and we made through it, so it’s just a great ending to the whole process,” said Cecile Pham, Anatole’s mother.
Anatole, who wants to be a marine biologist, is hoping to see fish, sea turtles and sea lava on her trip to Hawaii, which will happen during February school vacation week.
