István has been treated at the GYEK since he was little. He had been dreaming of many different things, but finally he decided that his main wish was for a flat screen TV.

We saw each other at the hospital many times and every time, he was looking at me with expectant eyes - “will she say anything” he was probably wondering. But I just kept smiling and didn’t say a word about what he wanted to hear.

The other day, they came in for a checkup, and I happened to be there too. I told them to pop in to my office for a little chat. And there, in the middle of the room, was a huge box, with no little mouse inside, but István’s wish, his present: the flat screen TV! He jumped into his mother’s arms in his happiness and he nearly started crying. He couldn’t believe it was really his and that he was allowed to take it home.

Dear István,

We wish you a lot of happiness and pleasure with your TV and first of all: a full recovery.




Thanks to the pupils and teachers of Eötvös József Gimnázium for making István’s wish come true.
