Thirteen-year-old Vanessa wanted to show off her skills in her favorite sport – shopping! In superstar style, a shiny limousine whisked her off to Sawgrass Mills. With her shopping list in hand and a decorated wagon, she zigzagged through the entire length of the mall. She snatched up a whole new wardrobe and trendy accessories. She selected the perfect hot pink dress for her eighth grade prom. Her other favorite finds were an Ed Hardy hat and a collection of colorful sneakers. During the mall madness, When Vanessa’s wagon overflowed, the chauffeur picked up her first load of goodies and her wish granters stepped in as official shopping bag carriers.

Wonderfully tuckered out, Vanessa hopped back into her jam-packed limo and headed to Pollo Tropical for some tasty food and time to relive the day’s happenings. Her table was decked out with a pink tablecloth and more balloons. A sweet ending to a super day, Vanessa feasted on a personalized cake.

On the ride home, Vanessa’s wish granters asked if her day was everything she had imagined. Vanessa shook her head and said, “Oh no. It was so much more.” What does she consider the best part of her experience? “Spending my special day with my family.”
