An Ohio girl, who suffers from a rare genetic disease, is going to lose her vision soon—but before she does, she will have one of her dreams come true—to meet Pope Francis and give him a hug, according to her parents.
Elizabeth Myers, 5, will meet the Pope on March 30, which is part of a “visual bucket list” her parents made for her.
Non-profit organization UNITALSI (an organization for disabled Catholic pilgrims), set up the life-changing experience for the girl.
The disease affects about four in every 100,000 children born in the U.S.
