4-year-old with rare blood disorder raises funds for wishes

RIDGEFIELD — A 4-year-old with a rare blood disorder has raised $2,695 so far through Make-A-Wish Oregon. Olivia Sexton was granted a wish through the organization to have a rainbow playhouse. “The experience was so impactful, she’s now wishing it forward to the 137 kids in her community who are battling a critical illness and waiting for their wish to come true,” said organization spokeswoman Kaitlyn Bolduc. The fundraiser is part of Make-A-Wish Oregon’s statewide event, Walk For Wishes, which has raised more than $141,000 in support of local wishes. Donate to Olivia at www.oregon.wish.org/Olivia.
