This story is so heartbreaking…
A Midway family is grieving their daughter who became ill and died while on a Disney World trip sponsored by the Make-A-Wish Foundation.
The McDonald family had expected this week to be a celebration of the life of their daughter, Mia. Instead, 4-year-old Mia got sick just hours after arriving in Florida.
Her body rejected the transplanted heart she received when she was just 4 months old. The family removed her from life support Monday.
John McDonald said his daughter had big plans to meet her two favorite characters — Mickey Mouse and Minnie Mouse — when they left Utah on Oct. 2, but Mia never made it to the park.
