Diagnosed with a blood disorder, Kaiden dreamed of visiting Super Nintendo World after watching countless videos and imagining the adventure. From flying on a plane for the first time to exploring the world of Mario and friends, his wish came true September 4–9 — and it was unforgettable!

What was the icing on the cake was that Kaiden got to celebrate his 10th birthday while on his trip!

His mom shared: "Our trip was amazing. Kaiden had so much fun. I can't wait to share the photos we took. Thank you to Make-A-Wish for making this happen — it means so very much that people care so much about my son."

After his trip, Valero Port Arthur helped celebrate Kaiden’s courage, joy, and imagination — and the community that made his wish come true!
