On Aug. 8, Make-A-Wish Orange County and the Inland Empire granted 15-year-old Victoria Venegas’ wish to be a singer with the help of the Los Rios Rock School of San Juan Capistrano.

Venegas’ dream to become a singer came true as she sang at the Anaheim House of Blues alongside 85 other students ages 6 to 18 from the music school.

Venegas is an Apple Valley native and was diagnosed with lupus in May 2013. After she was diagnosed, singing served as a positive outlet for her.

“We are extremely impressed and inspired by Vicky,” Tyler Marolf, CEO and Founder of Los Rios Rock School, said in a press release. “She has brought all of us together and has energized the entire school. Being able to help grant her wish was a magical experience.”
