Calebis’sh Big W

Caleb, 11, from Walnut Grove, Minnesota, is a fifth grader who wears bilateral BAHAs (bone-anchored hearing aids) and is a big fan of wrestling. Last spring, Caleb had the opportunity to attend WrestleMania in Los Angeles, California, through Make-A-Wish Foundation, and he would love to tell you all about it.

Hi, I’m Caleb! I love playing games on Nintendo Switch and Playstation 5, swinging at the park, watching movies, and playing with action figure wrestlers. My hearing loss was discovered when I was three-years-old, and by four, I started with a softband BAHA. I liked it so much that I had surgery for bilateral BAHAs. Because I was born with a congenital heart defect and had three open heart surgeries, I had the opportunit y to be a Wish Kid. It was hard to choose my special wish—I had a lot of ideas, like going to Disney World or a Bon Jovi concert to name a few. But when I heard my mom mention the idea of WrestleMania, I knew that was the one.

WrestleMania was LOUD! There were a few times it was so noisy that I took off my BAHAs during the wrestling match. I also took them off during the fireworks. Some of the best parts of the trip were going on stage with one of my favorite wrestlers John Cena, meeting new friends, and seeing the Pacific Ocean. If you like wrestling, I definitely recommend going to WrestleMania.
