8. Follow up: Magic of donors may make Disney wishes come true

In her quest to see Cinderella, McKenna May has encountered many fairy godmothers ... and godfathers.

When the 4-year-old's story ran Tuesday in the Sentinel-Tribune, collections jars had been placed around Wood County to try to get the Haskins girl to her dream Disney World vacation.

McKenna's story, however, took flight when it was picked up by Associated Press, Yahoo.com and Huffington Post website. The tale tugged at the heartstrings of people nationwide, who wanted to help the cancer survivor get to Disney.
According to McKenna's mom, Whitney Hughes, a fund set up at Fifth Third Bank in Bowling Green generated more than 120 phone calls Wednesday.

At the Sentinel-Tribune, emails and calls came from Washington, D.C., New York, California, Louisiana, Nebraska and even Afghanistan, from people moved to help McKenna.
