Midway Family Grieves Daughter On Make-A-Wish Trip

Midway Family Grieves Daughter On Make-A-Wish Trip

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.

  1. This family is from my home state. My heart goes out to them as they are going through this challenging time.

  2. How incredibly heartbreaking this story is. I have pins and needles reading it. I am going to kiss my little ones more often now! I hope she is an angel dancing in heaven to when you wish upon a star!
