Microsoft Grants Young Boy's Minecraft Wish

Ten-year-old Jude has spent more time in hospital rooms than most children spend on playgrounds. Living with a neuromuscular disorder, he has endured chronic pain, countless treatments and the emotional weight of a young life shaped by medical challenges.

But on a Monday morning, his story took a joyful turn as reported by MSN News.

Thanks to a collaboration between Microsoft, Mojang Studios and Make-A-Wish Ohio, Kentucky & Indiana there were confetti cannons, popcorn and a whole lot of celebrating.
