“We got bad news last week and when he heard, all he could say was that he wanted to go trick or treating,” said Fusco. “I said I’d see what could be done. The next thing you know here we are trick or treating,” Franky’s mother, Tiffany Fusco told BucksLocalNews.com.
Franky arrived to the special trick-or-treating walk through dressed as the Hulk.
Sunrise Senior Living pulled the “Halloween in May” event after staff heard of Franky’s wish to celebrate Halloween.
