FLEETWOOD,Pa.(April2022): Out of everywhere that Harper could visit, she wished to go to Disney World. Kids Wish Network made it possible, along with so much more that went beyond her sweetest dreams. To make it happen, Kids Wish Network gave her family generous Disney gift cards that they can use for tickets, dining, souvenirs, and even shopping at the Disney Store. They also received a gift card to choose their favored hotel accommodations. Harper’s time at the Most Magical Place on Earth will soon be her happy place full of special family memories. To make her getaway even more thrilling, they’ll also enjoy a funday at LEGOLAND, courtesy of Merlin’s Magic Wand, and Universal Orlando provided by the theme park. She’s so excited for her amazing Florida adventure.

At five months old, Harper was diagnosed with Niemann-Pick Disease Type 2, a rare inherited disease that affects the body's ability to metabolize fat within cells. She had a health care nurse for the first few years of her life, and also received physical and speech therapies. Finding the most beneficial medicine and dosage was a complicated process, initially causing Harper complications.

Many Thanks

Kids Wish Network could not have provided this wish to Harper without the help of Universal Orlando, Merlin’s Magic Wand, and the many supporters who believe in making wishes come true for kids who need hope.
