RICHARDSON, Texas — Continuing a seven-year partnership with Make-A-Wish, Service Experts worked with Orangutan Home Services, its HVAC contractor in the Phoenix, Arizona, area, to grant the wish for Jacob, a 12-year-old with leukemia.

Jacob is immunocompromised and cannot leave his house frequently, so he wished for a computer with a gaming setup, which Service Experts was happy to give him, the company said in a press release.

“We all got a taste in 2020 of just how hard it can be have to stay in your house all the time, so we were excited to hopefully grant Jacob some relief with an awesome gaming setup,” said Rob Comstock, CEO of Service Experts. “Our local center helped us make the wish reveal special, making posters to cheer him on for the reveal celebration, which also included a gaming truck.”

In addition to having granted more than 100 wishes since 2016, Service Experts has raised more than $1 million for Make-A-Wish.

A wish experience can be a game-changer for children, impacting not only the wish kids, but also their families, volunteers, donors, sponsors, medical professionals, and communities. Service Experts said. A wish renews hope and uplifts spirits, giving kids the strength to fight against — and even overcome — a critical illness.

“A wish creates an immediate turning point in a child’s treatment and recovery, and partnerships like the one with Service Experts are critical to helping us deliver that life-changing impact,” said Leslie Motter, president and CEO of Make-A-Wish America. “We’re thrilled for seven years of support to help create transformational joy across communities nationwide.”
