Reece’s Wish received a big donation from Mark Stoops

Not long after Reece King was diagnosed with leukemia in 2012, the Make-A-Wish Foundation granted him one wish. He could’ve wished for anything, and the one thing he picked was to have his very own two-story treehouse built by Pete Nelson, the host of TV’s Treehouse Masters.

Soon after making his request, Reece learned that three other kids had asked for the same thing, and only one would be selected. Reece decided that, though he really wanted it, one of the other kids might’ve needed it more. So Reece voluntarily pulled his name out of consideration for his dream treehouse.
