HORIZON CITY, Texas – The Make-A-Wish Foundation and some Borderland businesses and organizations came together to make sure a courageous 11-year-old boy had a very happy birthday.

Brayam Elias of Horizon City has been battling cancer. Saturday, the Make-A-Wish Foundation showed up for a surprise, socially distant birthday celebration for Brayam.

Among his gifts was a beautiful guitar from Guitar Center.

“We want to invite all the people to help us,” said Yolanda Loya de Lopez, with the Make-A-Wish Foundation. “The only way we can do these surprises is through donations.”
