It didn't take a shooting star, but a wish has been granted to one Swift Current teenager, thanks to a group of organizations collaborating to have the same effect as the natural phenomenon.

Fourteen-year-old Avery Andres was born with Rubinstein-Taybi Syndrome, and has struggled through the diagnosis with 13 significant surgeries throughout her life. Despite all of the above, Andres is described as one of the happiest 14-year-olds you'll ever meet.

The syndrome renders Andres non-verbal. It is also known to cause intellectual disability, as well as various medical complications.

Recently, she was given the opportunity to participate in the Children's Wish Foundation program thanks to a bid submitted to the organization from her doctor.

After much deliberation, Andres decided on a hot tub as her wish.

The Children's Wish Foundation granted the wish, but, thanks to a trio of businesses, was able to secure a hot tub above the foundation's budget.

Thanks to donations of funds and services from Wheatland Machine Shop Ltd., Beachcomber Hot Tubs, and Riverside Electric, Andres and her family were able to receive a hot tub best suited to her needs.

Andrea Orr, is a private caregiver for the family, and spoke on their behalf at the behest of Avery's father, Kerry Andres.

She said that seeing the businesses come together to get the tub was inspirational.

"It was pretty crazy just to see the amount of money and time that went into it from the local community that they're not getting reimbursed for, they're just doing it out of the kindness of their heart, and it means a lot to us," she said.

"On behalf of Kerry and the family, I know we appreciate absolutely everything that the local community and Children's Wish Foundation has done. It's crazy to think of all the time and effort that went into it just to help Avery."

"[Wheatland Machine Shop Ltd.] said 'let me get back to you, let me see what we can do for you,' and they came back alright, with over and above what we would have ever expected."

Orr added that the tub helps Avery deal with stresses.

"[If] she has a bad day, she comes home, the first thing she wants to do is just sit in the hot tub and just chill and relax, and let those worries slip away."

"She never lets it show that life is rough, and that she's got stuff going on, and yet it's so nice to give back to her, because I know deep down that she feels it, and is just such a little trooper," she said.

The hot tub was installed around mid-September. She said that Avery was putting the tub to good use since they were able to set it up.

"She's using it all the time, and she has a little communication device, and she's constantly asking for 'hot tub, hot tub.' It's been awesome, I think she's in it almost every day."

Vim Parmar, president of Wheatland Machine Shop Ltd., said that they were happy to be able to make Avery's wish come true.

"[I was] speaking with Kerry, and Avery is loving the tub, and enjoying it, and the whole family gets to use it as well - so it's not just for her, but helps to bring the family together as well," he said.

"It's nice to be able to give back, we're all in this whole thing together, so when we can give back to the community, and have a feel-good story... everyone has their challenges and stuff, and when we can help someone in particular to go in the right direction, it's a really good thing for all of us."

Both Beachcomber Hot Tubs and Wheatland Machine Shop Ltd. were able to take on some of the financial burdens of the tub, while Riverside Electric helped with costs associated with electrical work and setup.
