Isabel

All Wishes

Several years ago on Christmas Eve, Isabel complained of leg and back pain. After taking some over-the-counter pain meds, she went to bed, everyone sure she'd feel better in the morning. Sadly, that was not the case. She was rushed to the hospital the next day with paralysis. Shocked to hear that she had an extremely rare condition, the family was hopeful that she would regain her mobility in time, but this has not been the case. " Isabel has been amazing through this," her mother says, "but it has been really hard for her to not be able to do the things she used to do." Isabel has always loved Hawaii, thinking it was the most beautiful place she had ever seen. Wishes Can Happen sent her there, along with her twin sister and brother. We rented a special beach wheelchair, which according to the family, made all the difference in the world. They had an amazing time!
