Darrian’s Disney World Wish

On Halloween 2021, when Darrian underwent emergency brain surgery after having a stroke, it was hard for his family to envision better days ahead. That’s where The Rainbow Connection stepped in!

Now, just 8 months later, look at Darrian’s smile while he, along with his little brother and parents, took Disney World by storm!! During their weeklong stay in Central Florida, Darrian rode rollercoasters, posed with superheroes, swam in the ocean, and simply got to be a kid again!

The family even had the opportunity to celebrate “Halloween Night” at Give Kids The World Village and everything came full circle! Instead of being stuck in a hospital room during trick or treating, Darrian was gifted a brand new costume and ran around collecting candy, playing games, and laughing the whole time!!

Darrian’s mom shared, “There’s nothing I could say to show my appreciation for our support system and The Rainbow Connection for ensuring our trip was nothing less than perfect.”
