Zachary Wants to Meet Mickey Mouse - Won’t You Help?

At one day old, Zachary was diagnosed with a soft cleft palate. He could only consume liquids for his first fifteen months until surgery, and four seperate hospitalizations, repaired his cleft palate. After extensive testing at age two, he was diagnosed with Mitochondrial Disease, which affects every cell in the body by not allowing it to convert food and oxygen into life sustaining energy. (Many individual are severely affected and do not survive their teenage years.)

Due to Zach's illness, he cannot speak and is unable to stand or walk without help. Zach can now crawl, enjoys trains, dirt and watching cartoons, especially Mickey Mouse. He’s learning to use a walker and try’s to keep up with his big brother Ben.

With the support of our family of vendors and the fantastic ladies visiting the 5th Annual Southern New England Women's Expo, we will ALL help A Wish Come True, Inc. (www.awish.org) in bringing Zach's dream to life as he and his family will meet Mickey Mouse in May!

Please stop by the A Wish Come True booth during this event to show your support or you may visit www.awish.org.
