Six-year-old Caitlin is known as one “cool little kid” by her close family and friends. She currently lives in DeKalb, Illinois with her parents. Her favorite color is blue and she is a huge fan of the Disney Channel. Like many girls her age, Caitlin loves to watch “High School Musical” and “Hanna Montana,” but her all-time favorite singer is Demi Lovato on “Sonny With A Chance!” She spends hours watching her on TV and according to her mom, “lights up whenever it comes on.” Her favorite book is “Magic Thief” and she is always ready for a game of Uno.
When she was three months old, Caitlin was diagnosed with Aicardi syndrome which is a rare genetic disorder affecting brain development. Children who have this disease generally have a partial or whole absence of the corpus callosum, which is the section of the brain that allows the left side to communicate with the right side. Caitlin feeds through a G-tube everyday, but her family is optimistic and she is staying strong!
When Caitlin was asked to wish BIG, she asked to visit the set of “Sonny With A Chance” to meet Demi Lovato in person! On her wish day, Caitlin and her parents will be whisked away in a luxurious limousine to the airport for lift-off to sunny California! Once in California, the family will be able to relax in a lavish hotel where they will be pampered for the next few days. Caitlin and her parents will have special access to the television studio where she will meet Demi Lovato and walk around the set. Caitlin is so excited for this wish to happen – she is counting down the days!
