Life at four is pretty simple; wake up, play with a few toys, eat your favorite cereal, watch your favorite TV show – all without any worry in the world. Well, that is life for most four year olds. But for four-year-old Kore, life at four has not been as simple as it should be.

Kore suffers from end stage renal disease and needs to have a Kidney transplant. When Kore is not visiting the doctor and undergoing treatment for his severe kidney failure, he enjoys the color green, eating cookies, watching Sesame Street, and playing football.

End stage renal disease has been a tireless battle that Kore has proven to be courageous and fearless throughout and when volunteers from the Make-A-Wish Foundation^® of Greater Ohio, Kentucky & Indiana, Indiana Region had the opportunity to grant a wish for Kore, he knew right away that he wanted to visit Mickey Mouse in Disney World!

A note from Kore's mom:
“We had a great time at Magic Kingdom^®, or 'Mickey Mouse House' as Kore calls it. When Kore saw Mickey Mouse he got so excited and said that Mickey Mouse was a movie star. Well, when it was time for meeting Mickey and getting his picture taken, Kore was a bit timid, but he warmed up eventually. At Magic Kingdom he LOVED It’s A Small World and the Buzz Lightyear ride. We had to do it over, and over, and over again.
