Kaylan, 9
Vascular disorder
I wish to
"Help other kids"
Despite the challenges of her condition, she continues to amaze her family and friends with her thoughtful personality.
Nine-year-old Kaylan, from Chicago, has always had a deeply caring spirit, wanting to help people she encounters while traveling to and from her many doctors' appointments.

Diagnosed as a toddler with a life-threatening vascular disease, Kaylan has struggled with complications from her illness, including having to limit her activity to less strenuous pursuits.
"The best day of my life"

Kaylan carefully considered what to include, wanting everything to be helpful.
Each kit included hygiene products, towels, games, and gum, which Kaylan believed could help children who suffer from anxiety.
"The best day of my life"
Kaylan, 9
Kaylan told Make-A-Wish that she wished to help people, and she decided to design care packages for kids facing challenges such as homelessness.
These agencies serve young Chicagoans experiencing homelessness.
On the day of her wish, Kaylan’s family and close friends traveled to Mercy Home for Boys and Girls and Ignite to deliver the packages.
After dropping off more than 150 curated care packages, Kaylan’s mom shared that Kaylan felt proud of herself because it was something she always wanted to do.
