SAN PEDRO, Calif. (February 2022): Hazel gets the biggest smiles from Disney songs, Mickey and Minnie Mouse, and theme park rides. While she’s been to Disneyland once before, the challenges of needing medication and frequent rest breaks affected the magic and carefree fun of ‘The Happiest Place on Earth.’ She didn’t even get to see Mickey and Minnie. Now that she’s feeling better, she hoped to go back and experience everything she missed and revisit her favorite attractions. Hazel’s wish made it possible for her to go back to her happy place.

Kids Wish Network gave her family a generous Disney gift card that they can use for Disney tickets, souvenirs, dining, accommodations, and more. Merlin’s Magic Wand added to the excitement, providing her family with tickets to LEGOLAND. Her dream coming true will be a very special time celebrating Hazel and all the things that make her smile.

Last year was a chaotic whirlwind for Hazel and her family. A persistent fever led to testing and an unthinkable diagnosis. Hazel had B-Cell lymphoblastic leukemia. She underwent chemotherapy and experienced many challenging side effects. Hazel continues in the maintenance phase of her therapy.

Many Thanks

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