California boy gets wish to blow up building

Awesome!! Much better than reading about stuck up 'celebrities' with millions to rent a hospital. That same million could have been used to help kids like this live full lives but some people glorify celebrities and thats why they do what they do. Keep living life to the "MAX" kid!

Win. My hat goes down to you, young sir.

Good for you buddy! Thats awesome! As a brain tumor surivior myself I wish you nothing but the best and I'm sending wishes and prayers. And to all you trolls ridiculing, and bringing politics into it...lets hope you never have to go through it yourself or watch a family member go through it.

I hope this kid can be cancer free....pray for him or at least send out some positive vibes...

where's the "like" button for this story?

What kid wouldn't want to blow up a building. I'd think that would be every boy's dream come ture.

Those concerned about this kid being violent needs a chill pill. It's not like this kid wants to blow up an occupied building with lives at stake, geez. To him this abandoned building is like big toy blocks for him that he can topple.

Sounds like a typical seven year-old. I know my sons would would want to do that; heck I would love to do that. Keep on being that seven year-old that we all wish we could be. Thoughts and prayers to you and your family, and I hope that you beat cancer. God Bless.

why is every criticizing this kid for his choice? He's 7. Kids his age play cops & robbers (or nerf war now, I guess). Doesn't mean he's a violent, demented kid. Means he wants to do something cool with a big bang, safely.

The is the single coolest wish I've ever read. Kudos and warmest wishes to young Maxwell.

Very cool. Great work Make-A-Wish.

Some of the best humans on the planet work for them!

I'm not going to lie, I'm like super jealous.

that so cool!!..wish I could blow up all the cancer out of your body!!!

Children have fun in their minds! REMEMBER?

A wonderful story! I had the same wish when I was a kid. I had an erector set that came with a motorized building toppler. I build the building and then destroy it! I loved watching that tower crash to pieces! Helped distract me as my own father was dying of cancer.

And to all those ignorant posters, I did not become a terrorist. I became a therapist to help others who are facing obstacles in their lives.

This is one of the reasons I donate to the "Make A Wish Foundation" and the Danny Thomas Cancer Research in Memphis. It's all about the kids!

Thank you to those who helped this child live his wish. What normal little boy doesn't enjoy taking things apart. Little Max got to do it for real on a big scale. I hope his cancer treatment is successful on a grand scale too!

THAT is awesome! Get well kid!

If I could legally blow up a big building I would totally do it! Pretty cool kid in my opinion!

This kid is full of win.
