Ponchatoula area wish child, Acadia, and her wish to replenish her toy collection captured the hearts of everyone.
Her home was destroyed during Hurricane Ida, when two trees fell through their roof on opposite ends of the house. One in Acadia’s bedroom, and one in Acadia’s play area.
Thanks to our partners at Macy’s Mall of Louisiana in Baton Rouge, Acadia got right to work, building a dream online wish list from Macy’s and Toys-R-Us. On reveal day, a limo dropped her and her family off to her very own roped off area in the store, complete with a mountain of presents from her list. He facial expressions and smiles as she tore through the gifts say it all! She even had a surprise greeting from Toys-R-Us’ Geoffrey the Giraffe!
To top off the morning, Acadia made a special delivery and dropped some letters in the mailbox to Santa and enjoyed lunch with her family before heading back home.
