Wish is a Treasured Island Escape to Catalina
Avalon, California – Nevaeh loves the beach and new adventures, so her wish combined both with a treasured island escape. Kids Wish Network sent Nevaeh and her family to Catalina Island, a spectacular destination with natural beauty, abundant outdoor exploration, and rich history.
There were so many activities for Nevaeh’s family to choose from like Movies on the Beach and Summer Beach Bingo on South Beach, a Kid’s Fishing Derby at Green Pleasure Pier, renting a golf cart to explore the island and its iconic landmarks, taking an excursion, shopping, relaxing on the beach, and more. Kids Wish Network provided for her family’s leisure activities, dining, and the Catalina Express Ferry for their transportation to and from the island.
Their accommodations were generously provided by the Catalina Canyon Inn, a boutique hotel located on the picturesque hills of Avalon. They had a memorable stay and especially loved spending time at the pool.
“Thank you so much, it was a blessing,” said Nevaeh’s dad David. The wish was a time to slow down, focus on happiness, and leave the stresses of daily life on the mainland.
Before Nevaeh’s diagnosis, her immune system wasn’t functioning properly. She had one illness after another, and was frequently going to the emergency room. Her scariest episode had her rushed to the hospital by ambulance, and her hospitalization revealed she had tumors forming in her central nervous system with the cancer quickly spreading. Nevaeh was diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia, and successfully treated with chemotherapy.
Many Thanks
Kids Wish Network could not have provided this wish to Nevaeh without the help of Catalina Canyon Inn, and the many supporters who believe in making wishes come true for kids who need hope.
