Charlotte’s Story
Charlotte (chronic lung disease), age 7 at time of wish
I wish to meet my favourite princesses!
Wish granted, 2018
“Charlotte’s medical journey has been quite something for our family, and for herself” said Charlotte’s mom, Alicia.
Growing up with a chronic lung disease has landed Charlotte in the hospital many times, and to date she has had to endure a dozen surgeries. Her brothers are always concerned for her when she has to go away to hospital, explained Charlotte’s dad, Jason. ”They always want to know how she’s doing and when she’ll be coming home.”
It was a friend who suggested they contact Make-A-Wish to see if Charlotte would qualify for a wish. Charlotte did qualify, and it was her wish to meet Elsa and Anna in person and give them hugs. Her wish came true in 2018.
It was a big moment for the entire family to realize that they would all be part of Charlotte’s wish experience at Walt Disney World. The family fondly recalled the special moments they shared together seeing Charlotte meet her favourite characters, Elsa and Anna.
Charlotte herself summed up her wish experience: “Best. Day. Ever.”
