His brother, Zack, is developmentally disabled.

When the Make-A-Wish Foundation granted Zack’s wish, it was a trip to Florida to see Disney World.

When Make-A-Wish asked Tyler what he would want for a wish, it was to take Zack and the family back to Florida so Zack could have more fun again.

Tyler’s mother, Dorothy Bidwell, said that she couldn’t be prouder of her son’s wish.

“Tyler spoke up and said ‘I want to take my brother back to Florida so he can have more fun.”

It’s moments like these that Make-A-Wish is trying to realize and they need more help in the form of volunteers.

The Make-A-Wish Foundation is holding an informational session at Flower Memorial Library in Watertown from 5:30 to 7 on April 24 for anyone interested in becoming a wish granter.
