Ronald, now 72, was never supposed to live past five years old. At birth, Ronald was diagnosed with Spina Bifida, an incredibly debilitating congenital disorder and despite beating the odds has had to live with life-long disability. Ronald knows it was only through the help of others that he has been able to live so long. Now he has dedicated his life to helping those in need. Ronald, after fulfilling the dreams of so many others, has now fulfilled his own dream of visiting Hawaii, through the help of Wish of a Lifetime. It has been Ronalds longtime dream to visit Hawaii. At one point in his life, he had finally saved up enough money to go. However, when he realized his family was trying to save for a down payment on a house, he gladly turned over his savings to help. Now, working with Wish of a Lifetime, Ronald was finally able to visit Hawaii on September, 18th 2014. Ronald was accompanied on his trip by his best friend and cousin Len. Lens birthday is the day after Ronalds and they celebrated their birthdays together for the first time in 63 years. “It was the best birthday him and I ever had,” Len said. “Ill never forget it. This was a trip that I will never forget,” says Ronald. Special thanks to Christiaan Phleger Fine Art Wedding Photographer for the wonderful photos!
