Asia is a quiet 11 year old from Kingston, who is very close to her parents and four siblings. Asia suffers from neurologic problems that take a toll on her—as her Mom put it, “Asia is an incredibly brave little girl with just too many worries.” Unfortunately, one of her younger sisters also suffers from seizures and autism. Because of both sisters’ condition, they have a trained service dog named Rivers who detects seizures before they happen and alerts the parents. The complexity of Asia’s condition has made it impossible thus far for the family to travel and enjoy a much needed vacation. Furthermore, Asia has a very good understanding of her condition and feels quite sad that her siblings must miss out on certain family activities because of it. Her wish is to travel to Walt Disney to meet the fairies and visit Pixie Hallow. Thanks to the Make-A-Wish Foundation and our incredible partners, Asia’s Disney wish came to fruition on January 19th, 2009 when her entire family, as well as Rivers, flew to Orlando. Thanks to all of our staff and volunteers for giving Asia a chance to finally just be a kid.
