Choosing the perfect Dream took some thought for Tre, age 9, but once Tre’s family learned about Give Kids The World Village, they knew it was the place for them. The fully wheelchair-accessible resort offered a safe and inclusive environment, allowing Tre to fully enjoy the experience without limits.
The adventure started with a major milestone—Tre’s first flight! In fact, it was the first time flying for the whole family. While there were initial nerves, they were quickly put at ease thanks to the incredible support at the airport. From gate assistance to a seamless travel experience, the journey was smooth and stress-free. Tre, to everyone’s surprise, didn’t shed a single tear—he loved every moment!
From the start, Tre showed his mom just how capable he was, and the magic of Disney only amplified that. One of his most joyful moments was riding a real firetruck! The accessible ride let him roll right in, and as the sirens blared, Tre clapped and smiled the entire time, forgetting for a moment the medical challenges he faces daily.
Tre’s birthday was nothing short of magical— Mickey and Minnie personally sang to him, and every day at the resort, surprise presents awaited on the porch! It was a celebration filled with love, laughter, and unforgettable memories.
Throughout the trip, Tre and his family bonded over some of his favorite experiences—watching the Disney fireworks together, clapping along at the SeaWorld dolphin show, and riding “It’s a Small World” and the Jungle Safari ride. He was absolutely thrilled to be included in activities with his siblings, and they were just as excited to include him! Meeting Captain America, Belle, and Ariel was another highlight, bringing the stories he loves to life.
But perhaps the greatest gift of this Dream was the time spent together as a family. Tre’s grandparents even drove down to celebrate with them! After years of hospital stays and tough moments, this trip allowed Tre’s siblings to experience a sense of normalcy, doing everything together and simply embracing the joy of being kids.
For Tre’s family, this wasn’t just a vacation—it was a life-changing experience. It reminded them to live in the moment, cherish every laugh, and celebrate the magic of being together. 💙 We are thankful for our partnership with #ChartwayPromiseFoundation for helping to fund this Dream.
