Penelope Hansen is 4-years-old and had to have a liver transplant in 2017.
Her wish was for her and her family to go to Disney World – and that’s exactly what happened.
Make-A-Wish raises money all year-long and for the past few years, Splash Car Wash locations all across Connecticut have helped them raise funds. For one day, each year, a portion of every car that uses a Splash Car Wash in every one of their locations goes to the Make-A-Wish Foundation.
Mark Curtis who runs the car wash says it’s the least they can do to put a smile on some young faces.
