On Sunday, after some driving we stopped around 10 before one of the houses in the outskirts of Csány, a small village in Heves county. Tomi the „wonderlamp” child lives here and we came to grant his wish at last.

The boy is treated at the same pediatric clinic and department, where my daughter was treated a few years before, we went as a family. At that time Csodalámpa has fulfilled the wish of my daughter, Lilla, so she wanted to come and bring joy to her peer.

Tomi has been playing in their yard upon our arrival. He had not the slightest idea, what could be hidden in the huge box, delivered two days before to his home, so his surprise was total.

Seeing the – officially „sit-in, battery driven child-vehicle” – jeep turn up from the box, a shy smile could be seen on his face.
First he just caressed the bright red car, then we urged him to sit in and he touched the steering wheel… Like he was floating in a pleasant dream, and was afraid that a careless move would wake him up…

Then I explained him how to drive his car: where is the accelerator, the gear shift, how strong he has to hold and turn the steering wheel… he started to drive in circles around us, more and more bravely and skilfully.
Sure a few times we had to jump away, but all in all he has learned to drive his car really fast.

While the boy practiced - almost - off-road driving on the small mounds, we have been chatting with his parents over some sweets and refreshments. We were able to see the children joyfully running around the jeepster and could see that the warm hearted driver, Tomi gave a lift to the more brave.

Although Tomi has earlier thanked for the jeep, when he saw us packing he asked us with a note of fear in his voice:

Oh, no Tom, this car is yours for ever, and we hope that you will be so happy with it, that we were this day, seeing your happiness.
Get well the soonest!
