Simeon’s Wish
Merchants of Amana are proud to partner with The Make-A-Wish Foundation®. The Make-A-Wish Foundation® enriches the lives of children with life-threatening medical conditions through its wish-granting work. Our 2007 child was Simeon. Simeon is 6 years old. He has A.L.L leukemia. Simeon’s wish was to go to Disney.

We are so pleased to update that in mid-January Simeon and his family left the frigid temperatures of Iowa for sunny Florida to fulfill Simeon’s wish. Simeon’s mom writes “Simeon took his meds, but for 7 days cancer stayed in Iowa, along with all the emotions that have been along for the ride.”. From Magic Kingdom, to MGM (including special light saber fight with Darth Vader), to Animal Kingdom for a special "wish" (a private 90 minute safari), to Epcot, Simeon and his family were treated to an adventurous trip. For more information about Simeon’s trip, please see “link to Simeon’s page”.

Thank you to all the 2007 sponsors and volunteers that helped the Merchants of Amana make Simeon’s Wish come true. See you in 2008.
