ORLANDO, Fla. (September 2023): Liam adores Mickey Mouse and all his animated friends. He longed to go to Disney World so he could see them, and experience the rides and shows that he heard so much about. It was finally Liam’s turn. Kids Wish Network made it possible for him to feel all of Disney’s magic and more.

His family received a theme park travel package, giving them everything they needed for a memorable visit to Orlando when they were able to travel. Kids Wish Network purchased airfare, and gift cards for Disney, Airbnb, and Happy Eats for dining. They also received passes for LEGOLAND’s theme park courtesy of Merlin’s Magic Wand.

“Thank you so much for the wish for Liam,” said his mom with great appreciation. “We had an amazing time with so much to do and so much fun! Liam got to experience Disney as a child with special needs should. This was definitely the best summer ever!”

At birth, Liam was turning blue and having visible seizures. He spent the first weeks of his life in the NICU, and was diagnosed with epilepsy and cerebral palsy. Liam began walking at two and half years old, and undergoes speech, physical and occupational therapies.

Many Thanks

Kids Wish Network could not have provided this wish to Liam without the help of Merlin’s Magic Wand, and all the supporters who believe in making wishes come true for kids who need hope. Visit www.kidswishnetwork.org to learn about our different programs.

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.

Every kid’s wish is worth the investment because every wish changes a life.

If you would like to sponsor a child’s wish, or if you know a child who is suffering from a life-threatening illness and may be in need of Kids Wish Network’s wish-granting services, please call 727-789-0008.
