Connecticut girl chooses garbage truck for ‘dream ride’

MERIDEN, Conn. (WTNH) — A special moment for a very special little girl. Meet Eva Curry of Meriden, who is full of love.

She will make you laugh and will make you grin, leaving you with sore cheeks!

“You could be having a bad day and she’s just the sweetest thing,” Eva’s mom Kelly Curry said.

She knows how to make anybody smile. Kelly said that’s the affect her daughter has on others, even though life isn’t the easiest for the 4-year-old.

“She has a rare syndrome called White Sutton Syndrome and she was diagnosed earlier this year,” Kelly said.

Regardless of her challenges, Eva knows how to enjoy every moment- especially when she was recently celebrated at The Dream Ride Experience, which supports the The Hometown Foundation.

Dream riders like Eva cruise in classic and exotic cars through Farmington, but for Eva she didn’t want the Lamborghini or the Maserati… she wanted something bigger, and, in her eyes, better!

She wanted to ride in a garbage truck, so Bozzuto Brothers Refuse delivered. It was a dream come true.

“Every Wednesday here we sit and we wait for the garbage truck, so it’s a very memorable experience for her,” Curry said.
