Julian, 9 years old, AZ | 25 DAYS WAITING

Wish submitted by:

Julian is an exceptionally bright, responsible, and kind-hearted boy. He is a natural leader who proudly serves as his school's "class captain," acting as a teacher’s helper and assisting his classmates with their homework while maintaining perfect grades. Residing full-time with his caregiver through a private kinship arrangement, Julian brings resilience and a big heart to everything he does. He is an avid athlete who loves sports, riding his bike, and fishing. This wish supports Julian as he joins his caregiver and siblings on a special family trip to Disneyland, giving this dedicated young leader a well-deserved opportunity to create lasting, joyful memories.

Last November, Julian's mom made a beautiful promise to take him and his five siblings to Disney for a day of fun and adventure, but just as they were getting excited, tragedy struck, and she passed away, leaving them heartbroken. Now living with their loving grandmother, who is determined to fulfill that promise, they are hoping that this trip will help ease their pain just a little bit. It’s more than just a day at Disney; it’s a chance for them to create new memories together, find moments of joy, and feel their mother’s love surrounding them as they begin to heal as a family.
