26、I recently read about a girl named Hope Elizabeth Stout. After learning more about her life, I got the feeling that she had been named “Hope” for a good reason, something of her life has lived on.

In June 2003, Stout was very much like any other 12-year-old girl. She was looking forward to her family’s annual beach trip. But a sudden pain in her knee changed everything. After conducting some tests, doctors found that she had bone cancer.

Stout began to receive painful treatments. She never lost hope and believed that in the end, she would be able to beat cancer. Unfortunately, the treatments did little to stop the disease from spreading. By November, she was forced to use a wheelchair to get around. Then, something magical happened. It changed many lives.

In the United States, there is the Make-A-Wish (MAW) foundation. It helps children in need fulfill their wishes. In November 2003, MAW visited Stout and told the girl she could have anything she wanted.

Stout thought for a few minutes and then answered, “I am still lucky. I have been to Disney World and swum with dolphins in Mexico. I went to the beach all the time. Did you just say there are 155 kids on your waiting list? Well, my wish is to let their wishes be fulfilled — all 155 of them.”

It was hard for MAW to fulfill Stout’s wish — it would cost nearly $750,000. However, it sprang into action. Newspapers, radio and TV stations shared the story. A local company got the ball rolling with a $25,000 donation.

Sadly, Stout didn’t live to see the happy ending of this story. She passed away on January 4, 2004. After her death, donations poured into the MAW office even faster. On January 16, MAW announced that they had raised $1,116,000 — enough to fulfill all 155 wishes. Finally, Stout’s wish came true.
