Kenzie Hicks loves mermaids, so much so that she wished to swim with them in Maui as part of her Make-A-Wish adventure.
ANCHORAGE, Alaska - McKenzie Hicks is a special young woman who leads a kind, happy, and fun-loving life, and despite the odds she faces, still finds a reason to smile.
It makes sense that her Make-A-Wish request would be to see mermaids in the Hawaiian waters off the coast of Maui, and that’s exactly what she and her family did, all thanks to Make-A-Wish Alaska and Washington.Kenzie, now 20, was diagnosed at birth with myotonic dystrophy, a condition that affects the muscles of the body by leaving them wasted and weakened.
“I mean, that’s just what I — you know ... she’s okay. She’s doing good,” explained Teresa, “Then she said no. So she put in for us and then they contacted us and that’s just how we started.”Once on Maui, Teresa said they found their way to the beach where Kenzie would be transformed into a mermaid and take a dip in the warm waters.
“He adored McKenzie,” Theresa said. “I mean, he was like, I mean, he was the one that painted her nails. He’s the one that whatever she wanted — all she had to do is say something to dad and he would do it for her, but he was, yeah, he was a great father, a great father to her.”Three months after they got home, Shawn was unexpectedly killed in a car accident.
