Macomb boys wish for camper granted through Make-A-Wish Foundation
MOUNT CLEMENS, Mich. Friday was a very big day for Christopher Lutzenkirchen, and it was easy to tell by how excited he was. I got my camper, Christopher said. I like the bon fire, and we can roast marshmallows.The family plans to use the new camper right away: this weekend. Make-A-Wish has had to postpone large gathering wishes as well as travel wishes. It does have a fundraising opportunity coming up, and you can help make wishes like Christophers come true.
