Meet 8-year-old wish child Hartley from Green Bay. She is one of the of the many local kids who will have their life-changing wishes granted, thanks to the community's support of Bergstrom Automotive's June 3500 campaign! Hartley is living with a critical respiratory disorder. She endures daily rigorous treatments to clear her airways, numerous procedures, doctors' appointments & much more. Hartley knew right away that her greatest wish is to go to Hawaii to see a volcano, swim with sea turtles, and zipline. She has never seen the ocean and can't wait to experience her wish, which will come true soon!
