This morning Ryan brought the our friends from Ackermans to studio. You may remember they helped us granted 5 Christmas wishes last week but there was a very special one that we couldn’t ignore. It was from Elle who is in grade 2.

Elle said she has everything she wants and just asked that we give some Christmas love to The Orion Child & Youth Care Centre in Atlantis – they support children with multiple and complex disabilities. Thank you to young Elle for the kindness and a big thank you to Ackermans for granting her wish.
