Wish Granted On Truck Restoration

On Saturday February 6th, Wish Kid Nick Cesarini of Greenwich, Connecticut saw his one true wish become a reality. Through Make-A-Wish Connecticut, Nick’s wish to have his truck “jazzed up” was granted, with the assistance and leadership from Red Line Restorations of Bridgeport. Nick has battled a life-threatening kidney condition that has often away from his normal routine and replaced it with doctors, hospitals, and medical treatments. But having his truck updated was something that he knew would put a smile on his face.

Unknown to Nick, the team at Red Line Restorations, led by owner Colton Amster, recruited other businesses to help with the project, including a fixed transmission and other significant updates. Nick arrived at Red Line Restorations today with his family, and his essentially brand-new truck was unveiled to him in a very special moment, shared by family, friends, staff and volunteers from Make-A-Wish, as well as members of Red Line Restorations and others involved in making Nick’s wish come true.
