I wish to go to Hawaii!

12-year-old Gavin is an avid gamer, from video games to board games! His favorite games are Fortnite, Minecraft and Chess. When he’s not playing games, you can find him listening to his favorite music artist, Marshmello, watching shows like Rick and Morty or drawing! Gavin also loves all kinds of food, especially Italian! He loves to go to Olive Garden and always gets the spaghetti! On the perfect day, he will follow up his dinner with some Tres Leches or Starbursts. Gavin also enjoys golf, playing with his dog and all things the color red. When Gavin found out he would have a wish granted by Make-A-Wish Texas Gulf Coast and Louisiana he weighed his options. He had tons of great ideas but ultimately decided to have a family vacation in Hawaii. Gavin's Hawaiian wish trip was magical from the very beginning to the very end. Thanks to United Airlines, the VIP treatment began at the airport when Gavin got an exclusive tour of the cockpit and had the chance to meet the pilot that would be flying him to his special wish trip. It was such a meaningful experience for Gavin and his family and truly started his trip off on the highest note. Gavin had so much fun playing at the beach, swimming, eating the Hawaiian cuisine and taking part in all the excursions. Gavin's mom shared "Our family can’t express our gratitude enough!! Thememories we made will be with us for a lifetime. Thank once again for all of your help."
