Make-A-Wish-Foundation has sponsored a trip for Reeana and her mom and dad, Kaylana and Norton, after they filled out an application for her last November.
According to her mother, Reena’s family was contacted after a week they filed the application to hear that they have been approved.
“We are so happy that her wish will come true,” said Kaylana Mettao. “Every morning she would wake up asking if we are going to Disneyland already.”
“We are going to enjoy her trip to Disneyland,” Norton Camacho said. Reena’s favorite Disney show is Frozen.
Camacho thanked Make-A-Wish for making his daughter’s wish come true.
Reeana celebrated her birthday on Thursday. Last Friday, Make-A-Wish officials and Reanna’s family visited T Galleria where the company was thanked for sponsoring the trip.
They are one of the major sponsors for Make-A-Wish on island. They successfully raised about $2,500 on both Saipan and Guam for Reena’s wish to be granted.
