HomePlace Structures supports Make-A-Wish

We are proud to help make dreams come true for Make-A-Wish children, by working with local chapters in placing playhouses and play systems. These seriously ill children are always delighted to receive these tangible gifts where they can dream, play, and simply enjoy life.

This thank-you letter describes a placement experience:

“The Make-A-Wish Foundation of Illinois held a ‘Pirate’ Party for 10-year old Luke. I am writing to inform you of the wonderful Pirate Play Set that Luke loved and thank you for the service and discount that helped make Luke’s wish come true.

Luke loves pirate movies and loves playing pirate in his backyard. His wish was to have something to do with pirates. Your ship was the perfect solution! Please thank Eric, John King, and John’s son for providing excellent service. Their willingness to schedule the delivery to meet our needs helped keep the secret and made for a wonderful party.

On the day of the wish Luke was lured to his backyard by gold coins on the ground. When he saw your ship he let out a big scream and fell to the ground because he was so excited! We also had some actors dressed as pirates to surprise Luke. The pirates performed a sword fight and then noticed Luke had stolen their gold! He was given two options, die or become a pirate. Luke loved it as he was captured and taken aboard the ship to change into his new pirate clothes. Luke then emerged from the hole of the ship as CAPTAIN Luke to the delight of friends and family.

Words cannot fully convey the delight Luke experienced and your ship was a hit. Again, thank you all for your help in making Luke’s wish come true.”
