When she was 11, Carly woke up one 日 with a neck ache and within an 小时 she was being life-flighted to the hospital after she stopped breathing. Upon waking in the hospital, Carly found that she could no longer walk, could barely talk and could not 移动 her arms and legs. Her doctors determined that she had suffered a blood clot in her spine that caused a severe spinal stroke, leaving her a quadriplegic.
In the years since her initial hospitalization, Carly has worked hard at various therapies and rehabilitation clinics to regain her abilities to talk, 移动 her body and even walk with the assistance of a platform walker; Carly has come a tremendously long way.
It was a family friend familiar with Carly’s struggle who first put Carly’s mother Sheri in contact with national children’s charity Kids Wish Network. Sheri exchanged paperwork with the charity’s wish department and soon found out that Carly was approved to have her wish granted; Carly asked to visit the set of her 最喜爱的 TV show, "NCIS."
With the help of some outstanding local 赞助商 and 赞助商 in Hollywood, Carly’s Kids Wish Network wish coordinator arranged for Carly and her family to enjoy all sorts of experiences on Carly’s wish trip including fabulous accommodations at The Renaissance Hollywood Hotel, dinners every night, tickets to Universal Studios as well as other fun attractions and, of course, the visit to the set of "NCIS."
“It was amazing,” 说 Sheri of her daughter’s wish trip. “The whole thing was amazing. We got the royal treatment everywhere!”
According to Sheri, “the royal treatment” extended to limousine rides, a beautiful view of the Hollywood sign from the family’s suite at The Renaissance Hollywood Hotel, VIP passes at Universal Studios, special treats and gifts during their 晚餐 at the Saddle Ranch Chop House and even some fantastic surprises on the set of NCIS. Though she enjoyed everything, the visit to the set of her 最喜爱的 显示 was definitely the highlight of Carly’s wish trip.
“It was nothing like we expected,” 说 Sheri. “It was just too amazing!”
While on the "NCIS" set, Carly was able to enjoy a special tour, meet actor Mark Harmon and actress Pauley Perrette (who play Carly’s two 最喜爱的 characters), eat lunch on set and even watch the taping of an episode.
“Mark Harmon was wonderful,” 说 Sheri. “He was so nice.” During the set tour, Mark even took Carly to the “interrogation room” set of 海军罪案调查处 and made her part of a special interrogation!
As for Pauley Perrette, according to Sheri, “she was just amazing. Abby [the character played 由 Perrette] is Carly’s 最喜爱的 character and it was just amazing for her...the girls made a scrapbook [showing Carly’s story] and Pauley was amazed and interested in it all. She was so sweet.” Pauley also 说 that the scrapbook would make an appearance on the 台, 办公桌 of her "NCIS" character Abby in the future and that Carly should watch for it.
To 最佳, 返回页首 it all off, Carly was 给 a special 海军罪案调查处 hat worn only on the 显示 as well as a 衬衫 from Pauley Perrette’s “Abby” wardrobe.
“It was a wish granted and then some,” 说 Sheri. “It was really like a couple of wishes!”
