- Andrew was diagnosed with a rare heart defect at birth, and was on the operating table at 1 week old. The 6-year-old New England Patriots fan finds common ground with player, Tedy Bruschi, and that's who he wishes to meet.
"My Wish" is a collaborative effort with Make-A-Wish that chronicles the granting of unique sports-related wishes for children with life-threatening medical conditions.
Make-A-Wish® grants the wish of a child diagnosed with a life-threatening medical condition in the United States and its territories, on average, every 38 minutes. We believe that a wish experience can be a game-changer. This one belief guides us. It inspires us to grant wishes that change the lives of the kids we serve.

This is Andrew’s mom. My sweet Andrew passed on January 7. He is rejoicing with the angels now. Please pray for him. This MAKE A WISH was a huge highlight of his life ❤️ We will never forget how kind Tedy Bruschi and the whole
NE Patriots organization was and how wonderful the Make A Wish program
is.
Hi Mrs.G I’m in miss brumfiel class and when we heard the news my heat dropped and when I saw this video I was bout to cry by the way my name is Avianah.
Thoughts and prayers go out to you and your family. 🙏 Andrew touched many of our hearts in such a positive way. ❤️❤❤
Sorry for your loss. Sending prayers 🙏🙏 and positive thoughts your way
This is horrible news i'm so sorry for your loss
I am so very sorry to hear of this Cynthia. From the video above, he had so much love surrounding him. My deepest sympathies to you and your family💙
This might be the best Make-A-Wish I've ever seen. Bruschi seems like a genuine guy that actually cares. Andrew's father served in Iraq and seeing him get teared up got me teared up. Best of luck in the future Andrew.
100% right, Tony. Bruschi is nice and cares for Andrew like his son!
A Marine Officer, probably both loved and hated by his Marines, but to watch his lip quiver thinking about the pain his little boy had to endure... priceless. Thank you for your service, dad. Thank you for your openness, Bruschi.
Hope all is well andrew
Guys I go to school with Andrew he's doing good now, he's a really nice guy, he's in 11th grade now! We're both friends and I'm happy to see him better man.
Scottsen Wattsen is he playing football i hope he is
Does he ever talk about this experience
God bless you, your family and his family. Thx for the update.
Are you still friends with him
Boi Lasagna Me to!! Especially being that, he met Teddy Bruscki!!
Live right near him and i have met him in multiple occasions. Hes such a nice guy and hes done a lot for my town and my school. In my opinion he was the perfect patriot and perfect football player.
Tedy Bruschi was one of my favourite football players, and this was just the sweetest and kindest things I have ever seen. As good a player as he was (HOF one day) he is a greater man.
These stories are all great especially when there is a similar medical bond between the child and his hero. But one of the risks of checking in on these shows 12 years on is knowing for some of these wish kids a full recovery is not in the cards. So sorry to hear that Andrew died recently. As someone who had seven brain surgeries by the time I was Andrew's age in this story, I completely connect with the pain, uncertainty and ultimately the lack of a healthy outcome for so many medically challenged kids. My thanks to this brave family for sharing their story then and even more so for publicly sharing their loss now.
Why do I watch these, I just end up crying :) - I love when the stars do these things, it means so much for these kids!
I'm related to Tedy Bruschi and it made me even more upset
ZZBlue Comet but some of them do it for the wrong reasons but I still like it
What your upset for tedy, man you are strange piece of work.
Because you are human, and you have emotions and these make us all feel like human are in fact descent, in hard time when people are cynical. I am with you. I never watch these with any one around lol.
ZZBlue Comet - If I was a popular pro athlete, I would do this constantly. I would probably be in children’s hospitals more than anything.
I just love watching kids wishes dreams and they come true
I love it!!! They went above and beyond for this lil man!! God bless them all!!
I like how Bruschi always got down to his eye level.
Yes , That was Nice , The World Can be So Negative, But This !! WOW teary eyed
Tedy Bruschi is my all time Favorite Hero, Gent and remarkable Human being, I have his Jersey on in my pic and still wear it today, Bless Tedy and Bless Andrew, brave young lad, from Massive Pats fan in UK, 🌹👍🇬🇧🇺🇸
Tedy Bruschi seems like such a great guy. He was very kind to that boy and seems very passionate.
Bruschi is what a class act looks like
I'm not a sports fan but watching these players with these kids pulls heartstrings and I now know why my mom, who died Jan 15th this year left some money to children's wish foundation of canada. God bless these guys.
Grown man here, still tearing-up watching this videos. Such class, generosity and respect shown by these sports stars to grant these kids their wishes. Raise a kid on sports, they'll have heroes for life. Those heroes always give back.
This just makes me smile so big, my favorite team, and my favorite thing to watch.
I love Tedy Bruschi. I almost wrote to him after my father had a devastating stroke. He was a life long Patriots fan....heck a fan of every Boston team. He passed away a few months later. Its been about 15 years and I still regret not writing that letter. I'm happy for the kid that he got to meet him.
They don’t make them like Tedy anymore. Honored to be a fan of his.
These kids look up to all the athletes, but it's us people and the athletes who look up to these strong children who deal with the difficulties every day of their lives, but continue on with a smile!! Love seeing these kinda videos......
Tedy Bruschi is so awesome!
MrMagicBanana we just have to look at your profile picture to know that. I think Edelman or Gronk or Brady are the best.
He suss
Wow Bruschi seems like a super good dude. He seemed generally happy and interested to be helping this kid out. good for him
Ive seen these all a thousand times and i still cry like a baby every time. Bless the make a wish foundation and all these children.
Unfortunately, my brother Andrew passed away on January 7th ❤ thank you for watching
@@annageracoulis my thoughts are with you🙏 ❤️ ❤️ ❤️
And they both went through a lot. Teddy Bruschi also had a stroke in 2005 and started October 29, 2005 against Buffalo and played in most of the remaining games of that year and this kid Andrew had multiple heart surgeries and is playing soccer, a CONTACT sport. I'd say they are both fighters.
Collin B soccer isn't really supposed to be a contact sport. But mkay
Collin B - Sorry, although there is contact in soccer, it’s not considered a “contact sport,” like football.
Boy if you dont. They barely touch eating other and go flying 437375784 feet. Either way. Soccer is a cool sport.
@@sauceelego519 There are many situations in soccer where players can collide or make contact while facing a defender or defending. im a Fullback and a midfielder.
when ever you think your life sucks look at a kid like this and be thankful that you don't have to go through something like this
Or your kid is healthy toojust think your blessed and your kid could be sick too and Thank God your kid is well and pray for the other kids
I got to hang out with Tedy Bruschi tonight. Such a great guy in person as well.
Such an amazing story. I always shed tears. The difference between Tedy and others is that he is a great man who truly cares. The kid will never forget this day.
Though I am a boy I did have tears drop because I am so happy that the athletic stars actually do this for their fans who struggle to survive. People on the "My Wish" series deserve this!! 100%
We are all patriots, congrats andrew!
I’m so sorry to anyone who’s child was diagnosed with something like this man... I pray for all their recoveries ❤️❤️❤️
It’s so good that kids get to have this sort of thing happen to them after all they go through
Tedy Bruschi was a "D" playmaker and captain. He also came back to play after a stroke. This is the stuff of legends I thought, then I saw this and it reminded me of the great man off field that he always has been too. This wicked cool kid got a dream day with his own hero Tedy Bruschi. Thanks to Make a Wish and Tedy Bruschi for this amazing day in one boys life. Bruschi really made a difference in one young life and that makes him a real hero in my book. Thanks Bruschi for being you.
From a Seahawks fan myself , Class act ... Patriots pulled it off well . Respect.
I am seahawk fan too and a big thumbs up too

I have been watching these all weekend and I have to say this one made me weep. I hate the Pats but Tedy is a hero
I love this video and I love how many people will come to help around many kids who have health problems by making their wish come true and being able to be happy in their life.

such an amazing story..
Touching!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The world would be a better place if more ppl were like bru!
NOT A PATRIOTS FAN....BUT WAS A FAN OF TEDDY BRUSCHI...HE PLAYED WITH HIS HEART AND LEFT IT ALL ON THE FIELD......#RIP
Thank You Tedy.. No Wonder You're My Favorite All Time Linebacker!!
Teddy and his family lived up the street from me before he moved to Connecticut. He lived in a simple raised ranch in a regular neighborhood. I read he paid cash for the house . The other Patriots lived down the road away in a development that had mostly million plus homes . One of which was the infamous Aaron Hernandez . The cars that pulled out of that neighborhood were all high end luxury models . Teddy drove a Mitsubishi Mini Van . He and his family would usually eat breakfast at a family restaurant up the street on weekends off season . The people in town were respectful and pretty much left them alone . Maybe a younger child would shyly wave or say hi and he would always respond with a great smile back . Read his book a book how he grew up . The book explains a lot . He never had an agent and negotiated his own contracts with the Pats . My prized possession is a framed , signed # 54 Jersey hanging in the Man Cave I received as a Christmas gift . He’s a class act .
Very strong kid.
My prayers go out to you and your husband you have been blessed with such a spirit a child of God that has gone through so much that will bless both you and your husbands the smiles that he brings and the warmth and smiles he creates . You have a great that you have been given that God has blessed you with many more blessings to come .
I will always remember Tedy Bruschi being a great, tough-nosed player, and now, so grateful to see his other side in this video. It would be great to see a follow up video with Andrew being an almost grownup teenager. Thanks to those who put this video together.
Unfortunately, my brother Andrew passed away at 23 on January 7th. I’m rewatching this sobbing my eyes out!
@@annageracoulismy condolences…you have an awesome family
I cried!!!!!!
awesome....priceless
This my wish videos always get me.
As my ID might suggest, I am not at all a Patriots fan. But this is beyond awesome, and Bruschi has had mad respect from me for years. It's Belicheat and Shady Brady that I can't stand. What an awesome thing to do for Andrew. Well played Tedy, well played sir.
great story
Man why are there so many onions in my room?
You can be anything in the world you wanna be kid :) Even Tedy Bruschi
wow 2006, one of the best years of my life
So cute!!!!!!!
