Jeanmarie, America’s Next Star!

MagicJeanmarie is a spirited 8 year old with spina bifida and cerebral palsy, but knowing her, you cannot
accurately call her handicapped. Jeanmarie’s wish was to go to the Maile School for Acting and Modeling. Her goal is to be in a real commercial and she had her first “shoot” this summer. Now she’s ready for T.V.!

UCF Cornerstone Team “Living the Dream” chose to help with Jeanmarie’s wish. They raised $1,142 and planned a fun party at Chuck E Cheese where everyone had a grand time enjoying cake, pizza and games.

As if that wasn’t enough excitement, NHFK volunteer Michelle Chamberland arranged for Jeanmarie to be at her favorite team’s game— the Magic! Following that game, Michael Pietrus invited Jeanmarie to
come back as his special guest for the April 4th game!

Her mom Jeannette shared, “Wow how exciting!! Jeanmarie is jumping with Joy!! It is amazing and I am surprised! We really appreciate everything…this is a dream come true. Thank you for your support.”
