Norwalk Girl, 7, Asks Santa To Relieve Sickle Cell Pain
After asking Santa to relieve her sickle cell pain for Christmas, a 7-year-old Norwalk girl was made to feel like a princess.

NORWALK, CT — After asking Santa to relieve her sickle cell pain for Christmas, a local business employee worked to make a 7-year-old Norwalk girl feel like a princess, the Norwalk Hour reported. Young Madison Williams has been diagnosed with sickle cell disease, which causes extreme pain and has no cure.
Madison made her Christmas wish after Matthew Petrini asked kids at My Three Sons to write letters to Santa, according to the Norwalk Hour. After reading Madison's letter, Petrini felt compelled to try and make some of her wishes come true.
Petrini gave Madison both a tablet and Barbie dream camper she had asked for, and a gift certificate for a free birthday party at My Three Sons among other things, the Norwalk Hour reported. He also gave Madison's mother $337 raised through a GoFundMe page.
