CARTHAGE, Mo. After nearly two years a 12-year-old girl with Cystic Fibrosis is getting her wish granted.<\/p>\n
Paige Talbotts family is celebrating her new backyard makeover.<\/p>\n
Paige Talbott, Wish Granted, says, I spent the night out here about twice already.<\/p>\n
Paige Talbott was diagnosed with Cystic Fibrosis when she was two weeks old.<\/p>\n
In November 2019, she asked Make A Wish Foundation for a trip to Hawaii, but Coronavirus changed her plans.<\/p>\n
Chad Baker, Wish Granter with Make A Wish Missouri and Kansas, says, With Covid and having to redirect travel she changed her mind and wanted a space to play games and a space to her and her family to hangout.<\/p>\n
So Make A Wish started renovating the backyard in February taking out trees and leveling the ground.<\/p>\n
Ozark installation leveled their yard, and Lowes came in with a new fence.<\/p>\n
They added a soccer net and volleyball net so she had a safe space to play with family and friends.<\/p>\n
Paige also has a shed complete with furniture, air conditioning, refrigerator and a tv.<\/p>\n
I feel happy, because I can use this a lot more.<\/p>\n
We can be away from parents. Its like my own house. Except I dont really have to pay for anything still.<\/p>\n
its like I have a normal life, without CF.<\/p>\n
This is one of the first times over the past two years that Paige has been able to hangout with friends and family.<\/p>\n
Chelsea Talbott, Paiges Mom, says, Seeing Paige come out of her shell and want to play volleyball and not be in a state of a bit of depression because she had to isolate and quarantine so much. So this has made a huge impact and its wonderful to see her come back to be excited about something.<\/p>\n
