WHAT: 7 year old Jaden Friesen from Plum Coulee will be receiving his
wish - a custom built Firehouse playhouse and swing set. Jade,
who has Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia, chose a firehouse because
he loves anything and everything to do with firefighters and he
wants to be just like his dad who is a volunteer firefighter.
Jaden's wish is coming true thanks to The Children's Wish
Foundation and the generosity of the Plum Coulee Volunteer Fire
Department, Winkler Police, Lilliput and The Home Depot.
