Make-A-Wish foundation surprises teen with trip to Disney World

JACKSON, Tenn —  One local teenager receives an unexpected gift from the Make-A-Wish foundation.

Destinee Decker, 17, was surprised with a week long vacation to Florida Sunday afternoon.

“Excited an emotional, it’s been 15 years since I’ve been to Disney and I’m really excited,” Make-A-Wish Recipient, Destinee Decker said.

Destinee’s family and friends gathered to watch the emotional moment. She will leave for her trip next month.
