Whitney Hughes and her daughter, McKenna May, are seen at their home in Haskins, Ohio.

The father of a 4-year-old Ohio leukemia patient has refused to allow her to take a long-sought Make-A-Wish trip to Disney World, saying the money should be spent on kids who are still terminally ill, the Sentinel-Journal reports.

McKenna May was all set to go after completing two years of leukemia treatment, reports the newspaper in Bowling Green, Ohio. But her father, William May, of Toledo, has refused to give his permission. "Spend the money on a child who this might be their last memory," May says. "Kids who are only going to live a year or six months."

The issue appears to be caught up in a domestic dispute. McKenna's parents never married or lived together. Her grandmother says the father only recently received visitation privileges, the Associated Press reports.

The Sentinel-Tribune's Jan Larson McLaughlin writes that McKenna was diagnosed with leukemia in April 2010 and underwent her last treatment last month.

The two-year ordeal has included 15 spinal taps, multiple chemotherapy treatments, and steroid injections. She won't be ruled "cancer free" for five more years.

I hope the karma train runs over his sorry ass soon!
They grant wishes to kids who are terminal, but they also grant them to kids who have had some rough years of treatment. When they are healthy again, it is a real treat after all that pain.

She's TWO-freaking-years old and has had 15 spinal taps. She should be able to go anywhere she wants.
