JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. (July 2022): Jacob loves theme parks, and after riding his first roller coaster, he was hooked. He’s also a big fan of Minnie, and his wish coming true gives him the chance to see his favorite mouse and experience the magic of Disney World!

Kids Wish Network purchased his family generous Disney gift cards that they can use for park tickets, dining on property, and shopping for souvenirs. Kids Wish Network also purchased them a Hotels.com gift card to choose their preferred accommodations. Jacob’s Florida adventure will be filled with thrills. Kids Wish Network also provided the means for his family to purchase tickets to Sea World, somewhere that Jacob also longed to go. Universal is donating attraction tickets for his family, and Merlin’s Magic Wand is providing them with tickets to LEGOLAND. Jacob and his family will create so many amazing memories during his special wish.

He was born with several health complications and, at nine months old, was adopted by his loving foster family. At four years old, Jacob was diagnosed with a seizure disorder making daily life difficult. His absence seizures brought on extreme drowsiness, causing him to fall asleep at unfavorable times. Medication is now helping to lessen his episodes; however, he still deals with many challenges.

Many Thanks

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