Redfield Make-A-Wish child, Chloe Jessen, to meet Elsa at Disney World Resort
By Shiloh Appel
Although seven year old Chloe Jessen, of Redfield, doesn't speak, she knows what she loves. This March, she will get to meet someone she loves — Elsa, from the movie "Frozen," at Disney World in Florida. Chloe was chosen as a Make-A-Wish child, and this was her family's wish for her.
"She has her own little noises or babbles and she says a couple words. We are trying to teach her sign language," said Chloe's mom, Randi Jessen."She can't really tell us what she wants, but she loves Frozen. When it first came out she got the movie and she has loved it ever since. She doesn't watch a lot of TV, but when that comes on she [ gives it all of her focus]. So she has a lot of Frozen stuff."
Chloe's battle with health complications began at birth. Born with Down Syndrome, Chloe also battled heart and lung problems such as pulmonary hypertension. She had less than a 20 percent chance of survival at birth.
