That Connor Garcia, 11, was granted his wish on May 4 was no coincidence.
Stafford headquarters, members of the nonprofit Mandalorian Mercs Costume Club chose the date known as Star Wars Day to present the Poe Elementary School fifth-grader with a complete set of custom Mandalorian armor. He also received a Boba Fett helmet signed by actor Temuera Morrison from"The Book of Boba Fett" television series.
In late 2018, when Connor was 7, a spot was detected on his pituitary gland through an MRI scan. Doctors were aware of only five such cases in the world, and Connor was the youngest person known to have had it, said his mother, Christina Ortiz. “You never expect to go into the doctor's office and hear that your child has cancer,” Ortiz said. “I can’t imagine being a kid and hearing that and not really comprehending everything that's going on. I can't stress the gratitude I have for Connor’s friends and family — we have the best support system here.”When Make-A-Wish reached out to the boy’s family, Connor had different ideas for his wish, Ortiz said. But the arrival of the pandemic disrupted all plans.
