For 9-year-old Jayden, it's his dream to be a police officer.
Described by his family as kind and caring, Jayden is always looking to help others, so the dream seems true to character. When he is not dressing up and pretending to be a cop, Jayden enjoys watching movies like "Spider-Man" and "Iron Man."
Jayden's medical journey started when he kept getting high fevers. After several trips to the hospital, the little boy was diagnosed with leukemia.
Ever since, Jayden has gone through chemotherapy treatments and regularly visits the doctor for check-ups. While he has had some mood swings throughout his treatment, his kind heart still shines through.
Jayden’s wish was to visit Disneyland. He had never been and wanted to get out of Las Vegas to experience something new with his siblings.
After spending months at home during the pandemic, the opportunity to travel was one that Jayden didn’t want to pass up.
When Jayden got to the parks, he put his fear aside and rode all of the rides at Disneyland, Disney California Adventure Park, and Universal Studios. He loved waking up and looking out his window to a beautiful view of one of the Disney parks.
From open to close, the family spent their entire day at the park soaking it all in. They were so appreciative of how attentive the staff was throughout their stay, and Jayden’s mom said it was the happiest she had ever seen him.
