For Hudson kindergartner Cora Slominski, a wish to become a princess turned into a magical trip to Disney World, where she met her favorite princesses, dined at Cinderella’s castle and wore her princess dress every day — even at the airport on the way home.For Cora and her family, the experience was much more than a vacation. It was a chance to make joyful memories during a difficult journey with childhood leukemia.Cora’s story is one example of the life-changing experiences made possible by Make-A-Wish Iowa, an organization that grants wishes to children facing critical illnesses in all 99 Iowa counties.The Hudson Lions Club members were deeply moved by their September speaker, Paul Lee of Make-A-Wish Iowa. Following Lee’s presentation, the club donated $200 to the nonprofit organization.
