Lhea's TRIP REPORT!!

Maroo, I had already visited Lhea's TR and when I clicked on the link in your post I was trying to figure out why your Spring Break TR was titled Lhea ...I need some rest!

Are you going to start the Spring Break TR before you finish your TR with Leisa?? No pressure, just curious.

Wow! I have a lot of reading to do on this thread! I am so glad i found it! I have a few questions if you don't Mind taking a moment .. I have been looking for a while for an organization to grant my oldest dd a wish. Here is a little history on her. she is 13 yrs old. she has many diagnosis, with includ mental retardation, sensory processing disorder, autism spectrum disorder, she has mild joint issues (cause of which has never been determined, though mild cp was mentioned) gastro.issues, and PCOS. She has begged and pleaded for YEARS to go to WDW but it has never worked out for us financially. We are going on a cruise in one year, but it was a "gift" from family. Any ideas if there are any organizations that would be a good "fit" for her/us? thanks to everyone!!

Like Mary stated..MAW is for kids with Life Threatening diseases/illnesses. If she falls in that catagory than I would contact them. If she has a Chronic condition.. Dream Factory would be the one to call. I do believe though they aren't in every state. They just started California, but I believe California isn't listed yet, so I would just call.

That is a terribly sad story!

Prayers to his family and the people at the MAW chapter and the people at GKTW - because that must be really hard on all of them, too.


I am probably going to do a fairly short pictorial report for Lauren's Spring Break trip...nothing too fancy...just some pictures and maybe a few funny stories and quotes here and there...but probably not a blow by blow of the whole thing.

It was actually a pretty relaxing trip with an average of 6-8 hours a day at the parks - that was about all Lauren could really handle.

But getting home was quite a story...and I guess I should post about that.

Ok...I guess I will get to writing!

First I need to get ahead a few chapters in my Sept 10 trip so that I can keep up with Liesa!!

Truly a sad AND touching story as the family said he was at peace having seen the beach... “He got his Make-A-Wish. After the beach, he was just satisfied, I guess,” Desi said.
It made me cry...

On a MUCH happier note....Maroo.... Me when you have time to post!

Our WISH GRANTERS come THIS Saturday!!!!!

For those who don't know, we had first thought of October 2010 to take Lisa's MAW. That timing didn't work out, which was a blessing. We found out instead (in October) that Lisa's heart had gotten worse, so we had to go back to Philly (we live in NC) for evaluation at the end of November. Clinically, her tests show she needs to have her pulmonary stenosis repaired and very soon. Thankfully, we are able to wait a bit longer (only God knows how much longer) because she is doing okay in spite of what the tests show. She DOES have limitations because of her heart; however, it is not good to have multiple Open Heart surgeries. We know her mitral valve will need replacing again, so they hope to combine surgery 4 and 5 into one. We returned from Philly December 2010 and planned for Lisa's MAW to happen in May 2011 (week after next to be exact). Rachel, our eldest daughter became VERY ill and her doctors told us she would NOT be able to travel in May...Rachel is recovering; however, still not well. At her request, we are keeping her illness private. I share all of this to let you know just HOW EXCITED we are and why our PTR is so long...please feel free to join in, I have a Table of Contents on page 1 so you can get to the "meat" of things. It would have been even longer; however, I was waiting until our trip was closer to start..... That just proves my point of writing in pencil, because you will ALWAYS have to erase!

You may want to look up Sunshine Foundation if your daughter does not have a life threatening illness. I work with them in Canada and the Sunshine Foundation's sole purpose is to answer the dreams of chronically ill, seriously ill, physically challenged and abused children, ages three to eighteen, whose families cannot fulfill their requests due to the financial strain that child's illness may cause.
