For Rachael, Make A Wish was not an option because the neurosurgeon that signed the form said it was NOT life threatening.  

We had to find an organization for kids with chronic conditions.  Rachael was recently granted a wish through Dream Factory, and is awaiting her wish to be granted.

It is sad to me that children who suffer (and probably will for their whole lives) each day are denied on a regular basis.  These kids need the uplift and encouragement of a dream just as badly.

I'm so happy too! If I get excepted then great! I'll just have too think of a different wish LOL but I dnt think my ns will pay any attention to them so most likely it's a lost cause. Either way I am happy!

I was aware that she did get it done for u, but, I did want to let u know chiari is on the list and once the dr completes the form, it should be approved.....Laurie's son was sent to Disney and had the  full royal treatment...

And in case some one else would be interested they will know how to get this done : )

I am so happy u r going to meet ur soccer Idol....lol....
