Tiba's wish for a gaming computer

Fourteen-year-old Tiba loves spending quality time with her family, having dinners with her grandparents, and gaming with her older brother.

An already isolating time for a child with a critical illness, Tiba has spent every day at home for the last 6 months. That time has been spent competing with her brother gaming via her phone and watching YouTube videos of professional gamers that she looks up to. When asked by Make-A-Wish what she wanted her wish to be, she lit up and asked ‘is it possible to wish for my own gaming computer and maybe even a webcam so I can become YouTube famous one day?’ 

Thank you for making this day special and unforgettable. You all worked together to make this happen, and I know Tiba will remember this for the rest of her life.

Thanks to our friends at Cox Communications, Tiba’s wish to have a gaming computer was granted. Cox equipped Tiba’s computer so she can play online with her friends, record videos for her YouTube channel, and work towards her goal of becoming famous!  

Tiba’s wish day was full of awesome surprises too! It began with a trendy customized space to host her wish, outfitted by our friends at Pacific Event Productions. She was also surprised when her wish adopter Cox Communications set up a Zoom call with professional gamers at Atlanta Reign to help her get started, and upgraded her WIFI for better streaming to keep up with the pros! Â
