Imagine getting one day to do whatever you want.
One Heart of Illinois girl is doing just that with the help of the Make-A-Wish Foundation of Illinois.
Growing-up, Casandra Pace says her daughter Ariana has always been easy to please.
So, she knew a makeover at Miss Dot-E-Dots would cheer Ariana up, after her recent hospital visit.
Since she was a little girl Ariana's been fighting a disease called sickle cell.
Pace said, "it's been kind of hard for the past couple years because her dad is deceased. So, I'm basically handling it on my own with her getting sick and her having to go to the hospital every two weeks."
But, today Make-A-Wish is treating Ariana to a new look.
A little bit of glitter, some mascara, and a touch of lip gloss all help to put a bright smile on Ariana's face.

"It was all about the same, just the lip gloss was a little cold,” Ariana reacted.
Ariana also found herself modeling a new outfit and finding a new friend and dance partner in Jessica Meyer.
Meyers said, "yes, I would definitely like to spend time with her and take her places and hang-out with her."
But the fun didn’t stop there, Ariana had another wish.
“Ariana said, “I've never had a real make-over before and I wished to have my room completely redecorated."
While Ariana was off getting her makeover, the Make-A-Wish crew was hard at work remodeling her room.
Seven volunteers started with an empty room and a long list of things to do.
Cheryl Smith with the Make-A-Wish Foundation said, "Ariana asked for her bedroom to be re-done. She wanted a Bratz theme, with pink walls, a canopy over her bed, and to include a fish tank, and some type of TV. She doesn't know it yet, but she's going to get a Bratz TV.”
All of this work had to be completed in one day.
Ariana already has plans when she sees her new room.
She said, "Sit there for the whole day.”
And, cherish the moment of a dream come true.
