Every year, Sicard RV sponsors a child through Make-A-Wish® Canada. This year, we sponsored 14-year old Xander, who's wish was to have a backyard playground!
Xander is a sweet young man who loves to play basketball and spend time with his family. He's a protective big brother who would do anything for his two little brothers.
At age 13, Xander was diagnosed with cancer. It put some of his plans on hold while he underwent chemotherapy and focused on his health.
After a few long months of treatments and hospital visits, Xander was thrilled for a chance to have a wish granted. Thinking of how he could make the most of his time home with family, he chose to have a backyard makeover - making his home a space that would mean limitless fun for him and his family.
"Thanks to Sicard RV, Xander's wish celebration started with a weekend RV rental, allowing him to celebrate his wish (and his birthday!) in style." - Make-A-Wish® Canada
His backyard makeover was "insane and awesome" in Xander's own words - and included a trampoline, a basketball net, a ping pong table, lounge furniture, and a barbeque! Xander loves to read outside on the lounge and cook up his favourite meal of hot dogs on the barbeque.
"Having the wish was such a big thing to look forward to when I was going through chemotherapy. It kept me going and gave me something special to dream about. It was awesome! This wish changed my life for the better." - Xander
Xander's favourite part is the trampoline, and he loves to do back flips.
