John Wall makes CT Children’s patient’s wish come true

For patient Niyear Perez, last Sunday was a dream come true. The inspiring 13-year-old, who currently receives treatment at Connecticut Children’s Center for Kidney and Bladder Disorders, is battling #chronickidneydisease, undergoing 3-hour-dialysis sessions 3 times per week.

But on Sunday, Niyear had his treatment scheduled a bit earlier in the day so that he could make it to Washington, D.C., to not only watch but meet his favorite NBA team, the Washington Wizards.

It was a moment he will never forget, as he hung out with John Wall and the rest of the team before being introduced with the starting lineup. Read all about Niyear’s dream come true, made possible by our friends at Make-A-Wish America, in the Washington Post.
