Jackson is nearly five years old, but his journey has been marked by extraordinary strength since birth. He was born with heterotaxy syndrome, a rare and complex heart condition, and underwent open-heart surgery at just two and a half years old. While the surgery was successful, Jackson continues to be closely followed by specialists for functional asplenia and moderate obstructive sleep apnea.


Jackson’s greatest wish is to visit Give Kids The World and experience the magic of Disney alongside his parents and his brother. He dreams of meeting his favorite characters and spending a full week simply being a child—free from hospital visits, procedures, and medical worries. This wish would give Jackson and his family the opportunity to step away from the challenges they face daily and create joyful, lasting memories together at the most magical place on earth.
