RV Company, Make-A-Wish Team Up To Surprise 12-Year-Old

Aug 23, 2021

Brennan will soon get to hit the road and build beautiful memories with his family in a 2021 Prime Time Avenger travel trailer.

Fresno-based RV Country worked with Make-A-Wish to make this memorable moment possible.

"Our mission is to grant wishes to children with life-threatening illnesses and it brings hope, strength and joy in a time when they are in a dark season," says Cortney Snapp with Make-A-Wish.

Brennan was born prematurely at 27 weeks as a triplet. One of his brothers passed away, but Brennan and his other brother survived.

The 12-year-old was diagnosed as a baby with cerebral palsy, autism and a life-threatening heart condition.

He is a fighter, enduring multiple surgeries among many other procedures.

"Every moment counts because when you have special needs kids that have medical issues, you don't really know what's going to happen day-to-day," says mother Valerie Vichorek. "You just got to take it one day at a time."

Vichorek says Brennan is non-verbal but he's happiest when he's outdoors. She says being around water brings him joy and calmness, and the RV makes it easy to travel to many different magical destinations.
