I can blog about what I want to right?!! Right!
As many of you know, Steve & I are HUGE Disney World fans! We have been very lucky to travel there almost yearly since 2004!
On some of our trips we have witnessed very special guests having a magical trip just like us. However, unlike us, they may not have the chance to get another trip. Not to be a downer, because these trips mean the exact opposite to these special guests! They are children with life-threatening illnesses who dream of visiting Disney World like most kids do, however with their medical situations it's not as easy as just booking a trip.
Thankfully there are some organizations who help these children & their families! One of these organizations is called Give Kids the World. They have been creating magical memories for over 20 years. GKTW does not just make sure the kids & their families have a great trip, but instead gives them the opportunity to have the most memorable cost-free trip of a lifetime!
GKTW provides accommodations at their resort, donated park tickets, & meals for the children & their families for a week-long trip!! They have Christmas EVERY week & even allow kids to have ice-cream for breakfast if they want! After all, it's vacation! It's all meant to allow these children who have spent too much time in hospitals & doing not-so-fun things to have fun!
This year there is an initiative in the Disney Fan Community to raise $1 million for GKTW. They are calling it the Power of 10. If 10,000 Disney fans can get 10 people to donate $10 to GKTW it will reach the goal of $1 million!! I thought I could use my blog here to reach out & hope at least 10 of you decide to donate $10 to make a magical difference!
All the money raised is going to GKTW & there are a few different ways to donate:
-Text Message - Text the word DISGKTW to 50555. $10 is donated directly to GKTW. The $10 is charged to your mobile phone bill.
-FirstGiving.com - http://www.firstgiving.com/disgktw - All donations made through this page are sent directly to GKTW, less a 5% processing fee charged by FirstGiving.
-Send a check directly to Give Kids the World. The mailing address is:
Give Kids the World
Power of 10 $1 Million Challenge
210 S Bass Rd
Kissimmee, Florida 34746
Of course no pressure! Just thought I'd share my love of Disney World to my readers & if I can help in some small way for some child to get to go to Disney World & be able to experience the magic like I have, I will.
Happy New Year Everybully!!
