Sick Boy's Wish Is To Save School

POSTED: 10:31 am EST January 26, 2006

The Make A Wish Foundation helps dreams come true for thousands of sick children.

One Delaware County boy is asking to fulfill a wish not just for him, but for an entire school community.

Tommy Geromichalos, 12, struggles with cystic fibrosis.

He doesn't want a trip to Disney world, or tickets to a sporting event.

Instead, he asked the Make A Wish Foundation to keep his school, St. Cyril's in East Lansdowne, from closing.

"All my friends are there. The teachers are great and they're my second family," Tommy said.

"It's a wish for his friends, his parish, the people he grew up with the community of St. Cyril's. That's his wish," said his mother, Connie Geromichalos.

The Make A Wish Foundation said it would like to help, but can't come up with the money.

So the school and parents are holding a fundraising drive to raise the $200,000 the archdiocese said it needs to keep the school open.

If you want to help, you can donate, by calling St. Cyril School at (610) 623-1113.
