Heaven is 7 years old, a native of Knoxville, and is battling epilepsy. She was recently granted a wish to Disney World! She chose this wish because she wanted to meet Ariel from Disney’s live version of The Little Mermaid. This was Heaven’s first time at Disney World, and she loved every second of it! She also visited SeaWorld where she was able to pet a dolphin. Her favorite ride was the Slinky Dog Dash at Toy Story Land in Hollywood Studios. Heaven and her family are grateful for the partnership between Make-A-Wish, Disney, and Give Kids the World Village because without all three they would not have the experience that they did. Heaven was happy to see all the characters, her mom was happy to have a wagon in the park, and her brother was happy to skip the lines – all smiles for everyone!

Heaven enjoys exploring; she is always on the go! She has recently been more mobile due to her condition, and she has loved being able to run around and be free. She loves to jump on her mini trampoline, play with her learning flash cards, and swing. Heaven spends her free time by watching The Little Mermaid while eating Buffalo Wild Wings. She loves the color yellow and looks forward to music class at school.
