Soldier's Wish helps veterans and active duty members and their families in need, determined to give back to those who serve our nation. And that's what they did for seven-year Marine veteran Jim McGuane after he found out he had kidney cancer in September and underwent surgery in October.

Soldier's Wish presented the Hillcrest resident with nearly $5,000 for medical costs and his daughter's education.

McGuane says he's extremely thankful for all of the support.

"It's amazing," said McGuane. "I'm truly blessed, and hopefully in the future, I can help give back to somebody else as well."

Soldier's Wish is based in Oklahoma. A branch started in the Southern Tier in 2016.
