Big Valley child eligible for Make-a-Wish

AryiannaDayChief

A mother’s love for her daughter is one of the strongest connections known to human-kind. This is all too true for Crystal Day Chief, who is mother to Aryianna. 

Aryianna was born with Neurofibromatosis  (NF1).  A  disease which causes tumors to form on her body. This does not stop the fun loving 14-year old from doing things she enjoys. 

Day Chief set off to make her daughter’s wish come true and she contacted the Make-a-Wish Foundation. 

Aryianna’s mother is exploring options to make a great experience for her daughter.  

The Make-a-Wish Foundation responded with enthusiasm and is in the final steps to making the event happen. 

  The Make-a-Wish foundation is currently conducting interviews with Aryianna to discover what would be her dream day.

Day Chief was inspired by Spider-Mable, a six-year old girl  suffering from acute lymphoblastic leukemia, who’s wish was to fight crime in the streets of Edmonton with Spider-Man. With the help of Make-a-Wish, Mable was able to fight along side Spider-Man and save Edmonton Oiler Captain Andrew Ference from an evil villain, last September. 

“Seeing how Spider-Mable was all done, it took a small army of people to do it, and the city of Edmonton was behind her. That is going to happen here. I have received a lot of support. I haven’t set a date yet, but I will make it happen for her,” says Day  Chief.
