Make-A-Wish Foundation was making a splash at the Enchantment event Thursday night at Devos. With fascinating decor the room was a glow with an under the sea theme that wowed guests. From coral entry ways, wrecked ships, and oversized clams named "Chowder" to real mermaids, treasure boxes and best of all wishes come true. One wish in particular was the highlight of the night. Rochelle Hernandez of Belmont is 5 years old and is battling with Lukemia at Helen DeVos Children's Hospital. Rochelle loves dancing, playing outside, and reading but most of all Rochelle loves puppies! So when she was presented with the opportunity to have her wish granted it was no surprise to us that she wanted a puppy, but not just any puppy, she wanted an English Bulldog Puppy to be specific. Rochelle's wish was granted with great anticipation from all who were present as she was surprised with her puppy. Out she waddled dressed in a mermaid outfit, a pudgy, wrinkly, 11 week old english bulldog later named "Tinkerbell."
Tinkerbell had also struggled in her young life after being rescued from a abusive and neglecting owner, she was one
of 4 siblings and was the only one to survive. The two were a match made in
heaven and it was love at first sight for Rochelle & Tinkerbell. It warms my heart to know that even know little Rochelle has quiet the battle ahead of her
she will always have Tinkerbell by her side to
keep her smiling!
