WATERLOO, Iowa (KCRG) – On Wednesday, Make-A-Wish Iowa told a 9-year-old boy from Waterloo they would finally be granting the wish that he’s been waiting 5 years for.
Parker has a cancerous brain tumor. He’s always dreamed of being slimed, just like on Nickelodeon.
The pandemic delayed Parker’s wish, but now, it’s official. Next month, he and his family will attend the Nickelodeon’s Kid Choice Awards- where he will be slimed by the professionals.
Make-A-Wish Iowa held its Alumni day at Lost Island on Wednesday, and used the event to bring Parker’s entire family out to make the announcement.
“We’re very proud of him, and he’s so strong,” says Shelby Hill, Parker’s mom. “To see, you know when he was four years old, going through this entire process. I mean, you can’t even wrap your head around, you know, four year old going through something that that he did.”
