I'm extremely sceptical that a 5 year old sick kid's wish is to stay in a particular 5*, $500 USD/night luxury resort in Hawaii. How old was the child when they had their first family vacation there? 2? 3? I doubt the child even remembers the place.

Sounds more like the parents manipulated the child into making this wish. "Remember that place we stayed with the cool pool/waterslide/whatever?"

It disgusts me that any parents would hijack their sick kids wish in such an obviously selfish, self-serving way.

I'm in a foul mood so forgive me for being rude. It's not a commentary on sick kids or the Children's Wish foundation.
