Make A Wish Foundation

Please take a moment to read about Caiden 

July 6, 2009

Dear Diane, 

Thank you very much for your support to the Make-A-Wish Foundation^® of Michigan! Your generosity in helping to “bring joy” to special children here in Michigan is most appreciated.  The vision of the Foundation is that every eligible child facing a life-threatening medical condition will receive a wish that is unparalleled.  Your donation from Alley Regalley will support this vision by helping to grant 3-year-old Caiden’s most heartfelt wish. 

This September Caiden, joined by his mom (Kristen), dad (Dustin), and brother (Caleb) will leave his home in Farmington Hills to travel to the most magical place on earth – Walt Disney World Resort^® in Orlando, Florida! This will certainly be a trip of memories to last a lifetime for this young boy who is living with langerhans cell histiocytosis.

Langerhans cell histiocytosis is a rare disorder that occurs when there are too many of a type of white blood cell called a Langerhans cell (named for a German scientist). These cells normally reside in the skin and help fight infections and destroy certain foreign substances in the body. In LCH, these cells accumulate on bones and other parts of the body, particularly the head and neck, causing a wide range of problems. LCH can also be found in the ribs, sternum, long bones of the arms and legs, vertebra of the spine, and the pelvis. Although LCH can occur in people of all ages, a majority of cases occur in children under 10 years old.  Your support will help replace these worries as his magical wish comes true.

While on their trip, Caiden and his family will be staying at Give Kids the World Resort and will have the opportunity to visit all of the Disney Parks.  He is super excited to meet all the Nickelodeon characters.  Their fun-in-the-sun vacation couldn’t come at a better time, as Caiden and h is family can set the complications of their every day life aside and concentrate on being a family.

In addition to Caiden’s love for Disney he enjoys the Wiggles, reading books and watching Nickelodeon!  On behalf of Caiden, his family and the Make-A-Wish Foundation of Michigan, thank you for helping to Share the Power of a Wish^®!

 

Best wishes,
