Wish Kid Gets His Ultimate Theme Park Adventure

WAYCROSS, Ga. (August 2022): Jaxon had big dreams about going to Disney World. Kids Wish Network is so happy to make it possible, providing a generous Disney gift card that his family can use for park tickets, dining, shopping, and more, and a gift card for Hotels.com, so they can stay in their preferred accommodations. To make his wish even more than he imagined, Kids Wish Network is also facilitating tickets for Universal Orlando courtesy of the theme park, and tickets to LEGOLAND Florida provided by Merlin’s Magic Wand. Jaxon’s Orlando adventure will be full of meaningful family moments.

Before Jaxon was born, it was already known that he had spina bifida, where the spine and spinal cord don’t develop properly. He underwent surgery at two days old. He had another surgery at six months old to implant a shunt for his hydrocephalus. During the operation, it was discovered that he had Chiari II malformation, so a partial revision was also done at that time. He recently began having headaches and seizures which led to his newest diagnosis of epilepsy. It affects his everyday life.

Many Thanks

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

Kids Wish Network has been making dreams come true for children since 1997. We are dedicated to infusing hope, creating happy memories, and improving the quality of life for children experiencing life-altering situations. We started with the single purpose of granting wishes to children suffering from life-threatening conditions but have since created additional programs to benefit kids nationwide, including Hero of the Month, Project Toy Drop, Holiday of Hope Gift Banks, and A Child Forever Funeral Assistance.
