In the beginning of April, Coal City resident Chloe Francisco, 11, was granted a wish by the Make-A-Wish Foundation.

Chloe; her mother, Kori; her father, Chris; and her younger sisters, Averi, 8, and Hayden, 4, traveled to Kissimmee, Fla., Sunday, April 1, through Friday, April 6, to visit the Give Kids The World Village and the theme parks in Central Florida.

"I searched online, but I thought we could just go to Give Kids The World, just to vacation there," Kori said. "But we had to go through Make-A-Wish to do it."
