Madison Lorrain found out her wish to go to Disney World will be granted by Make-A-Wish Maine at Macys in Portland on Dec. 8. She then had a mini shopping spree for her trip at Macys and wrote a letter to Santa.
On Dec. 8, 9-year-old Madison Lorrain found out her wish will be granted. She is going on an all-expenses paid trip to Disney World with her family, thanks to Make-A-Wish Maine.
Madison wished for a trip to Disney World because she wanted to bring her family on a trip. She will be joined by her parents, Kristin and Steve, and her uncle and godfather, Kevin.
She is most excited for all of the rides at Disney World and is a fan of mermaids.
Madison was diagnosed with cancer in March and received care through the Maine Children’s Cancer Program, a pediatric oncology program of The Barbara Bush Children’s Hospital at Maine Medical Center. Her last treatment was in September and she is now cancer-free.
LincolnHealth, a member of MaineHealth, where Madison’s mother works, would like to wish the Lorrain family a wonderful trip.
