The Senate of the State of Texas is honoring Judson Whitley, a courageous 10-year-old from Humble, during his Wish Reveal Celebration on August 25, 2025. Judson has faced significant medical challenges, including multiple open-heart surgeries, yet he remains an inspiring figure to those around him. The celebration is organized in collaboration with Make-A-Wish Texas Gulf Coast and Louisiana, an organization dedicated to creating life-changing experiences for children with critical illnesses. Since its inception in 1984, the chapter has granted over 11,500 wishes, showcasing the power of community support in uplifting spirits and fostering hope.
Judson's wish is to swim with dolphins in Hawaii, inspired by a friend's experience and his fascination with marine life. The Wish Reveal Celebration marks the moment when Judson will learn that his dream trip is just around the corner, thanks to the generosity of Caldwell Companies and Make-A-Wish. The Senate resolution commends all those involved in making this special occasion possible and extends best wishes to Judson and his family for a memorable adventure in Hawaii. A copy of the resolution will be prepared as a keepsake for the Whitley family.
