Name: Chelsea
Age: 7
State: IN

Chelsea is a sweet little 7-year-old with a love of all sorts of cartoons. She collects stuffed animals and she’s also very interested in nature. Chelsea’s favorite activities are playing with her toys and doing arts and crafts.

When she was 9-months-old, Chelsea was diagnosed with having a chromosomal abnormality that caused a range of different problems for the infant. In addition, Chelsea also suffers from a cleft palate, autism and a curvature of the spine called scoliosis. When she was 3-years-old, Chelsea stopped eating and her large intestine ceased functioning so her doctors inserted a feeding tube so that she could get nourishment. A year later, her stomach motility stopped and she had to have a port installed in order to flush her system out every other day. Currently, Chelsea has undergone 30 surgeries, including her most recent to correct an abnormality in her feet called congenital vertical talus; this surgery put pins in her feet, left her in leg braces and has also made her somewhat reliant on a wheelchair for long distance mobility.

For her wish, Chelsea wants to meet her favorite Disney Princess, Cinderella! Get out your magic wand, Chelsea, because you are about to meet the princess at her Florida “home” in Walt Disney World!
