Ellery, a child with Kleefstra syndrome, has been granted a special wish by Make-A-Wish Arizona. Her family has been working for months to complete Ellery’s “Short Bus Shakes” bus and dreamed of adding a commercial soft-serve ice cream machine for their shakes. With the help of wish granter Brian and Make-A-Wish, that dream became reality—fittingly announced on National Soft Serve Ice Cream Day.
