Kym, 44, of Greenbelt, Maryland has been diagnosed with multiple myeloma and has received a prognosis of one year or less. Her dream is to take her children to Orlando, where they can visit Disney World and other area theme parks.
A single mother, Kym has relied on the caretaking abilities of her 8-year-old daughter and 11-year-old son. The trip is her chance to treat her children to an unforgettable vacation, allowing them to reclaim some of their childhood that has been lost due to her illness. She can’t wait to see their faces light up at the “Happiest Place on Earth.” Dream Foundation has granted this wish!
Kym and her family will be in Orlando for five days at the beginning of September, where they will visit Disney World, Universal Orlando, and Sea World Orlando.
