Two metro Detroit families dealing with life-threatening illnesses received the surprise of a lifetime on Tuesday.
At Havel Elementary School in Sterling Heights, the school teamed up with firefighters to surprise Jaden Thomas. The second-grader has type 1 diabetes and deals with it like a trooper. The group, Baking Memories 4 Kids is sending Thomas and his parents to Disney World.
In Royal Oak, 8-year-old Lola Lemon is also receiving the thrilling news of a Disney trip. Her and her two younger sisters have Glycogen Storage Disease (GSD), which can cause critically low blood sugars without warning, causing possible seizures, coma or worse.
Baking Memories 4 Kids, which was founded in 2012, sells chocolate chip cookies to make dreams come true. The nonprofit organization's founder, Frank Squeo, is a cancer survivor.
