Ray Decker, 81, had his wish to have his beloved car painted granted, thanks to national nonprofit Twilight Wish Foundation and Carlos Young, owner of Maaco Collision Repair & Auto Painting in Plano, Texas.
Decker, a resident of Richardson, Texas, is currently battling stage IV colon cancer and undergoing weekly chemotherapy treatments. According to his daughter, Polly Ritter who submitted his wish application, he tries very hard to go about his daily routine, and taking care of his 1997 Honda Accord is one of the things he enjoys doing. Decker loves his car dearly, according to Ritter, and having it painted would make him feel better about driving to and from his chemotherapy treatments.
Young donated the cost of the paint job for Decker.
Decker’s wish was the 1,548th wish granted since the foundation’s founding in 2003.
