Wish Stories

Michael with his new drum equipment!



Michael is Drumming his Way Back to Good Health!

"Music, music music, much more music, and cheese!" was eighteen-year-old Michael's response when asked what he enjoyed doing most or what his favorite things in life included.

When asked what his wish might be, Michael was very specific. He wanted new band equipment, and even had a complete list of drum equipment to replace what he was currently using. Michael's wish-granting volunteers went right to work to find every item on his list and secretly stowed the items until the big day. With a little help from his fellow band members, family, and friends, a conspiracy was soon put into action. The date was set and assistance was provided by Dietze Music to set up the drum equipment and speakers at Ware House Recording Productions in Omaha.

Michael was told to be ready at a certain time, and was escorted via Omaha Limousine to the recording studio. Upon arrival, the celebration began. Michael and fellow band members recorded their first CD.
