At just 11 years old, Caleb has faced more challenges than many will in a lifetime. Living with a respiratory disorder means that even simple, everyday activities can be difficult — but through it all, Caleb’s spirit shines with strength and resilience. He finds happiness in adventure, the ocean, and the wonder of Disney. When given the chance to choose a wish, Caleb knew exactly what he wanted: to sail on the Disney Cruise Line®.

The voyage carried them to tropical destinations, including the stunning shores of the Bahamas. From the moment he stepped aboard, Caleb’s face lit up with pure happiness. Surrounded by the excitement of Disney characters, entertainment, and ocean views, he was immersed in the kid-centered environment he had long imagined.

It was the Bahamas that stole his heart. His favorite part of the trip? Splashing and playing in the water under the warm sun. For Caleb, that carefree moment wasn’t just fun... it was freedom. A break from hospital visits and limitations. A chance to just be a kid, completely wrapped in joy.

His family reflected on the experience with full hearts:
“This wish meant the world to our family and especially to Caleb! He felt incredibly loved and so special. We will be forever grateful to the Make-A-Wish Foundation!”

Caleb’s story is a powerful reminder of what a wish can do. It’s more than a trip or a destination, it’s a source of strength, hope, and lasting memories for children and families navigating incredibly difficult journeys. And for Caleb, it was a moment of pure magic he’ll carry with him forever.
