Melody and her family would like to thank everyone who made her wish so special. We had an amazing time and made lots of wonderful memories. So many things happened on our trip that blogging about it all was very overwhelming. I decided to make a little video instead. It still doesn't show all the little special things that was done for her but you get the idea. Thank you Children's Wish Foundation for making Melody's wish come true. The things you did to make sure Melody had the best time ever was truely amazing. Melody will never forget what you did for her. You will hold a special place in our hearts forever. Thank You just doesn't seem like enough. A big Thank You also to Give Kids the World, Disney World, Universal Studios and Sea World. Every day brought new surprises. Your staff was always so cheerful and helpful. We never had to wait in lines, got to meet all the characters, lots of presents, personal meet and greets, always had the best seats at the shows...etc. Melody will never forget her trip to Florida. You made Melody's wish extra special.
The more, the merrier!
Melody is now 15 years old. She is still being followed at the IWK Children's Hospital in Nova Scotia. Melody has been very strong through all this and we are very proud of her. Below is the original write up for Melody's story and the concept for this blog.
Melody is just 6 years old and has recently been diagnosed with Juvenile Dermatomyositis; a rare disease that only 1 to 3 children per million a year are diagnosed with. She is currently undergoing a great deal of testing at a children's hospital to determine the extent of the disease and how it will be treated. This disease comes with plenty of pain and limits Melody's ability to do a lot of the things children her age enjoy.
Seeing that this disease cannot be cured, only treated, Melody has a long road ahead of her. Her family would give anything to make this road a little brighter for their special girl. This is where you come in! We all know how exciting it is to get a handwritten letter or card in the mailbox, so we thought it would be fun for Melody to look forward to getting some mail of her own. She has a map of the world on her wall and puts a little sticker on every place she receives a letter from.
If you'd like to send along some sunshine, please send it to the following address:
