PHOENIX — The Arizona Department of Public Safety and the Make-A-Wish Foundation helped make a 7-year-old boy’s dreams come true.

KNTX-TV reports that Raiden Aguilera was able to fulfill his dream of becoming a SWAT team member. On Thursday, the Arizona DPS SWAT team suited up the young boy in full SWAT gear and helped him save multiple Build-A-Bears from the team’s training house.

He and his sister were able to hone their new skills as they saved the “hostages” with their new team.

Aguilera has been battling Langerhans cell histiocytosis, a rare form of cancer, according to KPNX-TV. Aguilera’s mother said he was diagnosed with the disease on Valentine’s Day.
