JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. (WJHL) — Make-A-Wish East Tennessee has made one Tennessee child’s dream come true.

Brayden Arnold was surprised with a new game room setup on Friday.

Arnold was diagnosed with lymphoma last July, which required a stay in Memphis for treatment. He and his family returned home in November.

With the help of Make-A-Wish East Tennessee, he now has a new setup to play video games.

“I expected like only a monitor or something like that,” Arnold said. “But then I ended up seeing like everything I asked for. I was just like, it just blew me up.”

Arnold said his favorite games are Roblox and Fortnite.
