Filipe, 6 years old

“Filipe's games console arrives from the sky!“

On a warm and sunny afternoon in the Valais, Make-A-Wish came to visit Filipe who is a Ben10 fan. The wish team presented Filipe with some Ben10 gear and toys and lots of games to enjoy using a games console. However, the games console was missing!   Make-A-Wish explained that a Make-A-Wish envoy  was walking up and down hill to bring this gift and we should go looking for him as maybe he had lost his way.

Armed with lots of blue balloons, Filipe, his family and the team set out toward a field across from his home and tied the balloons to a post so that the envoy could find his way.


As everyone stood around chatting and laughing, Filipe watched the amazing swirls made by several paragliders high up above the valley. Imagine Filipe's surprise when the paraglider he was watching actually swooped down and delivered to him a box containing the latest games console he had been dreaming of !! Filipe would not let go of his game and could not wait to get home !

Huge thanks to Jean-Pierre for making this wish come true. A big thank you to special Make-A-Wish Envoy Sasha for the amazing aerial stunts and bringing the gift. Thank you to Lionel and Mathias and a special thanks to the people at EA, especially Alison for providing Filipe's dream playstation and games.
