I Wish to Have a Shopping Adventure...

Nakeya's Wish

"I wish to have a Shopping Adventure"


She arrived in a limousine and timidly walked the red carpet among the cheers of dozens of admirers. Her notoriety, however, didn’t come from a movie screen or song lyric. 17-year-old Nakeya was celebrated for her amazing courage and grace.

It has been a very special season for Nakeya. Her treatments for a rare cancer are behind her and what lies ahead is hope. Nakeya is hoping for health and a journey that will take her to college and bring all the things a teenage girl should be experiencing.

When Nakeya was given the opportunity to have her heartfelt wish granted, she chose to go shopping to fill her closet with clothes and all the necessities for go on her healthy journey in style.

The setting was perfect! Nakeya began her day with a Macy’s makeover and personal shopper. She tried on outfits perfect for the red carpet and ensembles even more perfect for a college dorm. As friends and supporters took in the moment, TV cameras rolled as Nakeya tearfully recounted the strength her mom has given her and how much it meant to her to have a day of her own to just…wish.

Once Nakeya had modeled her clothes and relaxed in the Macy’s “Green Room” prepared just for her, she set out for some specialized stores and goods to complete her day. But first of course, was lunch at J. Alexander’s with her volunteer wish granters, wish manager and her mom to reboot her energy for the rest of her shopping!

By the time her 9 hour shopping extravaganza was complete; Nakeya had made new friends and admirers, looked stunning and had a limousine full of wonderful clothes and accessories.

Nakeya popped in the limo and sprawled out on the seat in a fabulous collapse. As she drove away, it was clear that you can shop till you drop, but there is never an end to wishes coming true.

 

 

 

 



With a smile from ear to ear, Nakeya made stops at all of her favorite stores!


A special green room for Nakeya!
