Benjamin Dendy, Who Still Needs A Liver Transplant, Gets Make A Wish Visit With The Falcons

  • Thursday, August 31, 2017

Benjamin, the son of Southern Bend Yoga Festival's founder Heather Dendy, just had his wish granted from the Make a Wish Foundation.

Benjamin, who has long been awaiting a liver transplant after being born with a liver disease, got to spend the weekend with the Atlanta Falcons.

Heather founded SBYF to help families who have children who need an organ transplant so the festival benefits COTA (Children's Organ Transplant Association).

Benjamin is now 16 and amazing doctors that he has done so well despite his illness. But he still needs that transplant.

The 2nd annual festival will be Sept. 30.
