Hadley Finds Her Happy Place

JASPER, Ind. (February 2021): After getting strep, Hadley’s life changed. She began having joint pain, panic attacks, and many other symptoms that she never experienced before. It was stressful going from doctor to doctor and undergoing all the invasive tests, only to be told there wasn’t anything physically wrong with her. There was. After more testing from an out-of-area doctor, Hadley was finally diagnosed with Crohn’s disease. She needs infusions every eight weeks and had to have her gallbladder removed. It’s been a lot to go through, and she dreamed about getting away and venturing to a beautiful destination. Kids Wish Network granted Hadley’s wish, giving her a generous gift card to an online travel agency, enabling her family to choose their airfare, hotel, and a rental car for their ultimate getaway. She also received a Jansport backpack brimming with travel accessories to enhance her upcoming trip. 

“Hadley has been through so much, and we’re grateful we can give her time away with her family in her happy place,” said her Wish Coordinator Kim Kreiner. 

Many Thanks

Kids Wish Network could not have provided this wish to Hadley without the many supporters who believe in making wishes come true for kids who need hope.
