Jacob's dream comes true as he and his family make new memories in Hawaii

On May 4, 2025, a 15-year-old boy named Jacob from Hemet was granted his dream trip to Hawaii, departing from Ontario International Airport, thanks to the collaboration between the local Make-A-Wish chapter, the airport, and community sponsors.
Jacob, who manages cystic fibrosis with daily treatments, had his wish granted through a $450,000 contribution from the Yuhaaviatam tribe of the San Manuel Nation, alongside support from Ontario International Airport.
Jacob and his family received VIP treatment at Terminal 4, including a limousine arrival, red carpet, expedited check-in, and greeted by airport staff, Make-A-Wish representatives, and Yuhaaviatam personnel.
Jacob’s mother Jessica said, “It feels like a culmination – that we made it,” highlighting the family’s many hospital stays and their shared resilience before boarding the flight to Honolulu.
Jacob will stay five days at Disney Aulani Resort, visit Pearl Harbor, snorkel beaches, and the event illustrates how community partnerships can fulfill wishes that bring hope and strength to critically ill children.
