ORLANDO, Fla. (September 2024): Kids Wish Network made Valentina’s dream come true, sending her family to see the spectacular production Disney on Ice in Tupelo, Mississippi. Valentina’s wish was further elevated with a VIP experience, getting seats literally just off the ice. It was amazing getting to see the characters perform so close. Valentina had the biggest smile and sparkled with joy. “We were in the front row, so we could see everything so good!” said her mom Maria. “It was great! Thank you so much!!!!!” Valentina’s special wish also included meeting her beloved Mickey and Minnie. Her family’s tickets and VIP experience were courtesy of Feld Entertainment.

Kids Wish Network also provided her family with the means to cover expenses, and sent Valentina a big box of gifts. “I wasn't expecting something like this, we are so thankful,” said her mom. “I don't have the words to tell you how happy we are. Thank you to everyone at Kids Wish Network, I appreciate you all.”

Valentina has struggled through medical challenges since birth. She was first diagnosed with microcephaly, causing Valentina to have developmental delays. Her most serious battle came with her diagnosis of acute myeloid leukemia, a bone marrow and blood cancer. She underwent three rounds of chemotherapy, and a bone marrow transplant. Valentina also copes with hypotonia, dysphagia, cortical visual impairment, scoliosis, and is not able to walk. She sees many specialists, and has a variety of weekly therapies.

Many Thanks 

Kids Wish Network could not have provided this wish to Valentina without the help of Feld Entertainment, and the many supporters who believe in making wishes come true for kids who need hope.
