Help w/Friends Making their own GKTW Trip For Boy

[uromac]

Hi!

We are are a group of friends who would like to make their own type of Give Kids The World Trip for a 9 yo boy who has already done GKTW but wants to go to Disney one last time as he is just received some really bad news.... btw, he has neuroblastoma.

So - A group of friends/community, etc.. would like to see him and his family go for one last time - This is where I come in since I offered to coordinate this endeavor as I'm obviously Disney obsessed and need you guys to help come up with a 'GAME PLAN": - info -

I'm a DVC Member - so room will be covered - However, don't know of how many days yet.
1 person has Disney connections so we have company passes for 8 (family of 4 - they are park hoppers we figure 2 days covered) - maybe able to get a VIP guide to to speed things up at the park - is that possible - worth it? Many people want to donate money gift cards - so I also figured on getting Meal plans, and rental car/van (they have friends to see, want to go to other parks, go to pharmacy/& park transportation) and gift card for daily expenses during trip.

We would have liked to set up an Disney account, however you need a password to let people know this is a legit trip and that someone might run off with the 'money'., another person said "Go Fund Me' takes a percentage - so people turned down that - is there another save and secure site anyone knows of to donate?

What else are we missing? - are there others out there who have done/been in similar situations and could suggest things to make this trip better?

Thanks in advance!

I wouldn't entirely rule out ******** as one of many ways to raise funds for this trip. Yes, they do take a percentage, but they are providing a convenient platform with credit card processing. Put that together with some social media promotion and you might get some givers who otherwise might have thought, "Oh yeah, I'll mail them a check tomorrow" but tomorrow they forget. If you offer it as one of many ways to give, it might bring in money that you otherwise might not get.
Anyway, what you're doing is wonderful....blessings on you!
