Over fall break, staff member Nicole and her three kiddos visited Give Kids the World Village in Kissimmee, Florida, where they decorated a Hoggy themed Christmas tree for wish kids! 🎄🐷
Give Kids the World Village is a nonprofit organization in an 89-acre storybook resort for critically ill children. Wish granting organizations such as Make-A-Wish and Dream Factory, with chapters based in Lexington, send many kiddos from Kentucky to experience The Village each year. Run by the generosity of volunteers and charitable donations, it is here that these kids are able to escape the complexities of hospitals and doctors’ offices to experience magical week-long vacations designed with accessibility and life enhancement in mind. Nicole’s daughter, Leorah, was one such kid. Diagnosed with stage 4 cancer at just 6 years old, she was a “wish” recipient at The Village in 2022. Now, Nicole and her kids come back to visit The Village regularly and love to join the other volunteers in serving current wish families facing terminal or life-altering diagnoses.
Thank you, Nicole, for bringing kids the joy of Hogg Therapy Pediatrics all the way to Florida this season! ✨
