This Gifted Wish was arranged as a surprise for this patient, born and raised in Mexico.  His joy and love for mariachi music was well known to his family, friends and caregivers whose Gifted Wish was granted to make this moment happen.
"With the financial support of [Gifted Wishes] Pacific Northwest Hospice Foundation, we were able to arrange for 24 student members of Hillsboro School District's Mariachi Band, "Una Voz" to come play for our patient on Thursday evening (5/25). Neighbors, family, and the patients' chaplain, social worker, nurse case manager and hospice volunteer from Care Partners Hospice & Palliative all gathered around the patient's front porch to celebrate him and enjoy the music of his childhood in Mexico. After the first song, our patient began to tear, and he later expressed his deep gratitude for the evening, which had been kept as a special surprise for him.
