Wish Brings Abundance, Kindness and Support
LAGRANGE, Indiana – Kids Wish Network made Skyler’s dream come true, purchasing him a generous gift card for a shopping spree at Walmart in Angola. To elevate the excitement on his big day, the store invited the local police and fire departments to greet him, and some even helped him shop. Skyler was the center of attention, and it was so fun getting to fill up his cart with so much stuff! Walmart additionally provided him with lunch, a Paw Patrol cake, and also gifted him a new car seat. It was a very special day for Skyler and his family experiencing so much abundance, kindness and support.
Target in Fort Wayne also celebrated Skyler, donating a gift card for even more shopping, and providing a personal shopper to help him pick out his favorite things.
Skyler was born premature and wasn’t breathing. He was put on life support, and later underwent a surgery to remove most of his intestine due to an infection. He now has short gut syndrome which affects his body’s ability to absorb nutrients from food. He was discharged from the hospital, and about a week later was admitted again, and needed a G-tube for the next 5months. He was later tested and diagnosed with CACNA1C related disorder, a gene mutation causing a range of conditions, with the most serious affecting his heart. Skyler has already undergone 27 surgeries for a variety of complications linked to his diagnosis.
Many Thanks
Kids Wish Network could not have provided this wish to Skyler without the help of Walmart Supercenter #1709 in Angola, Target store #1933 in Fort Wayne, and the many supporters who believe in making wishes come true for kids who need hope.
