Make a Wish (and other organizations) - Wish Trippers UNITE! Volume THREE! :)

By going a week earlier they can do the Independent study. It's Kyra and Korissa's friend and she is like my other daughter. The parents are going to discuss it as a family. I told them it'll be like $2,000.

Okay, I'm really confused. But it's okay... Yeah, I was thinking that it would be two-thousand or around.

Our oringinal plans were...leaving on the 20th and that week the kids are on Spring break. We are staying 4 extra days. That following week Korissa and Kyra are suppose to go back to school but keeping them out them out as we will still be in Florida. Anyways that week.... they have no school on Wed. For Independent Study program they have to miss at least 5 days in a roll. Since that Wed is no school they would only be missing 4days and not the 5 days. Does that make since.

So now we will leave the week of the 13th and they will be missing the whole 5 days and can go on independent study and the following week they will be on their Spring Break. We will be home on a Wed. and they have 4 days to makeup their homework.

That actually sounds like an excellent plan to me...that way they can rest/recuperate and if they get that let down feeling I always get following a trip, they will have time to feel better before going back to school. (I imagine after a WISH trip that sadness might hit me even harder, especially since we haven't been on a vacation in such a long time). How wonderful they were able to accommodate your needs!! I am so happy things seem to be working out, although $2,000 for the extra teen to join you...YIKES! I hope that family is able to make it happen!

Thanks for clearing everything up! Brilliant plan!

Hayley was chosen to be our local area person for Applebee's Make A Wish Campaign! We did not know it had started yet, until we went to Applebee's for dinner tonight. We were sitting waiting for a table and Hayley saw this on the wall!

She said, "Mom that's me!"

It was so cool. We asked for the manager to come over and he gave us a few of the nice laminated cards with Hayley and two paragraphs about her and her wish! It is the same on both sides.

Then we heard our waitress showing the table behind us the card and asking them to donate to Make A Wish and make Hayley's wish come true. It was so awesome! The manager said they are doing great raising money and even bought our dinner with free desert as well!!

Thank you all so much for your responses. Yes it is MAW. Sorry I have not responded earlier. We had a tornado in the middle of the week and just now have all services back (electricty, internet and so on). We are all okay, just was very shaken up, none of us had ever been through anything like that before. Again, thank you so much.

Hi MAW trippers!

I thought I had posted here a day or 2 ago but I just read back a few pages and didn't see anything! Oh well.

We are going on a MAW trip from 12/27 - 1/2/11 for my daughter Emily who was born with a very rare chromosome disorder and is now 3 and multiply disabled. She is one of triplets, her brother and sister are typically healthy, and we also have an almost 7 year old.

I started a pre trip report but wanted to say hi here too!

Hi!!! Wow you are going to be there at a fun time of year!! I've been several times on NYE - it was a blast!!! Where is your PTR???

 

[kailatilear]

I have asked several questions regarding MAW trip for my daughter. I guess I should tell everyone why she is getting a wish. Abby now 8 yrs old, was born with Osteogenesis Imperfects (OI) aka brittle bone disease. She has had multiple fractures throughout her body, most of them in her vertebrea/spine. She can break at a moments notice with little or no major incident. She is such a spunky and courageous little girl. Thank you all so much for all your input regarding my questions.

I posted on Chelsea's PTR but just thought I would share here also. The kids have been so excited to wear their costumes so Trick or Treating at my husbands work on Friday was pretty awesome and gave me a chance to get a few pictures of them in costume. They are having so much fun as Tink and Peter Pan.

I hope everyone has a very Happy and Safe Halloween!

I'm glad everyone is ok. How scary. If it's MAW...I wouldn't worry about it. They don't come out unless the child was granted a wish. I think it's safe to say..you can start a PTR.
