Anna's dream is to visit Disney so she can see Mickey and Minnie.

A Letter from a Dream Parent:

When Anna was born, things were challenging: she was a horrible eater, didn't gain weight, and wasn't developing or hitting milestones like she should have been. She cried and cried - and it would be months before we figured out why.

At 7 months we received the diagnosis - a rare condition called Mitochondrial Disease, specifically Pyruvate Dehydrogenase Deficiency. Anna will struggle with seizures, developmental delay, and hypotonia (low muscle mass) throughout her life. It's a very rare disease, especially in children, and we just don't know what the future looks like for Anna.

In spite of everything she’s been through, she is constantly dancing, laughing, and enjoying all that life is for her! Our world is a better place because of Anna. She's a shining star and makes sure to shine for everyone who needs her.

Anna's dream is to visit Disney so that she can see Mickey and Minnie "Squish' Ems" (a word she invented!) in real life. While that might not happen soon, we are already excited thinking about how much Anna will love it and how happy she will be to visit such a magical place.

Thank you for helping to make Anna’s Dream a reality!
