Mackenzie’s Dream

"A community that cares is a wonderful thing.”

Miss Mackenzie did not hesitate when her Dream Connection representative asked what she would like to do. “I want to go to Disney World.”  Sitting on the clinic table, she smiled big in anticipation, completely at ease with the IV tubing delivering the chemotherapy of the week.  Her mother sat nearby with her infant brother, supported by Mackenzie’s grandmother.  Not even waves of nausea or vomiting diminished this Girl’s spirit!

The photos show how grand a family moment can be!  Her Dream Connection representative says “Those are the best smiles I have seen today.  I cannot thank YOU enough!  A community that cares is a wonderful thing.”  Brittany Hall says “Takes a village to raise a child. 😊”
