ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (KRQE) – A volunteer has helped grant wishes to dozens of children battling critical illnesses. On Saturday, some of those kids returned the favor. Make A Wish New Mexico honored Leigh-Jo Anzures with a surprise ceremony at its Albuquerque office. Anzures granted his wish back in December and the children he helped stopped by to tell him "Thank You." Make-A-Wish brings ‘The Price is Right’ to life for Albuquerque girl In fact, Leigh-Jo was there when one girl got the dog she wished for. "We helped me through the way and he was always just been there for me throughout this whole journey," says Wish Kid Isabella Pishyar. "It seems like they've gone by so fast. I've met so many families, so many kids, so many different stories. It's been a great journey," says Anzures. Leigh-jo's connection with the kids doesn't end when the wish is granted. Make-A-Wish says he continues to play an active role in their lives.
