and the experience doesn't just happen for the child with the illness, Make-A-Wish makes it possible for the whole family to be involved. It's something they can look forward to and enjoy together.

(1888PressRelease) February 09, 2012 - Irvine, CA - Merchant Services of Irvine, as part of their ongoing dedication to partnering with the Make-A-Wish Foundation®, recently helped a boy from Fontana, California go on a Nickelodeon Cruise with his family.

Andres is a young boy from Fontana who loves making people laugh, watching his favorite shows on Nickelodeon and spending time with his brothers. When the Make-A-Wish Foundation asked him what he wanted to do for his special wish, he knew he wanted to go on a Nickelodeon Cruise.

"The Make-A-Wish Foundation helps children with life threatening medical conditions experience things they might not normally get to because to their illness, financial challenges, or other circumstances," said Senior Vice President of Merchant Services Robert Parisi, "and the experience doesn't just happen for the child with the illness, Make-A-Wish makes it possible for the whole family to be involved. It's something they can look forward to and enjoy together."

Thanks to the Make-A-Wish Foundation and the support of Merchant Services, Andres and his family were able to spend time together on the cruise laughing, playing and having fun - which provided a much needed break from their normal routine of hospitals and doctors visits.
