Amelia

Amelia has a spunky, outgoing personality that lights up every room. If it weren’t for the multitude of medications and treatments she endures, and the wheelchair she uses when fatigued, you would never know that she has had several serious medical conditions since birth. This little ray of sunshine battles a progressive and destructive disorder that affects many of her neurological functions. Her symptoms include chronic muscle weakness and pain, reduced lung capacity, developmental and behavioral problems, and risk of heart issues, seizures, strokes, and dementia. During her wish interview, Amelia talked about how much she loves being in the sun and around water. She had also done her homework and told us that she would love to visit Give Kids The World Village and the parks in Florida! A few weeks before hopping on the plane, Amelia was paid a royal visit from the beautiful princesses from Enchanted Performances! They delivered her customized wish travel pack and countdown chain and the anticipation of her wish was put into high gear! Our friends at Delta gave her a mighty welcome to the airport on the day of her travel, and when in Florida, Amelia was showered with love and gifts every day. With all the new toys and gifts she received, her family even had to make an extra trip to the store for another suitcase! Amelia had a blast at the nightly parties at the Village and felt like a princess celebrating her 6th birthday on the trip. She buzzed from ride to ride at the parks, visited the awesome animals at Sea World, Clearwater, and Animal Kingdom, but mostly enjoyed as much time as possible at the Village. Join us in welcoming Amelia home after a busy week in Florida and wishing her a very Happy 6th Birthday!
