Wish granted
Guelph’s Dahlia Furfaro, 6, is all smiles while painters Greg Fay, Anna Medeiros and Daniel Iacob of IKEA Etobicoke pose for a photo on Saturday in Dahlia’s bedroom. Dahlia was diagnosed with leukemia in April of 2008 and is doing very well, says her dad, Rob. Over the weekend, her room got a makeover courtesy of the Make-A-Wish Foundation of Southwestern Ontario and IKEA Etobicoke. The room was coloured in pink, Dahlia’s favourite colour, and got a bunk bed because she loves sharing a room with her older sister, Rebecca.
