not negative, sad, need help

[joeyroo]

From Pre-trip thread Joey's "Vacation" (our story) Im looking for real wish granters or veteran board member help. What do I do if don't want to post any negative comments...where is the help thread??

I want so badly to plan the trip but can't post anything because I dont know info our wish is currently a train wreck. As I previously mentioned our wish granter has had us as our first family, as a result I have really had no information except the limitations of our expierience. we were offerred used luggage (not good because joseph has immune problems) a disposable camera and the possible wish party that is small which I was even informed of the budget for ($40, I did not want to know that). I asked about luggage and a camera only because they had asked us when they first visited if we needed it. Then I was told I was asking for too much. I initially asked to call the other senior wish granter before there were any issues and I was not given the number. I don't want to be negative. I have had alot of questions because I am a single mom who can not work, Joseph is tube fed and requires my care. We have very limited monthly budget and wanted to know what I needed to save money for on the trip. I now feel like this is not feesible. We have been told gas money to the airport and 20 dollars a day per person, that we should eat breakfast and dinner at GKTW (having to leave the park to drive back for dinner). My last two phone calls with the WG were both in tears. She has told me she bent over backwards for me for the luggage and camera and because Joseph's sister was allowed to go and we got the trip. I understand every wish is different, but the saddness and stress of our pre trip seems like a unique wish. It's not what I invisioned when joseph was sufferring from toxic chemo and I lived on hope.

Katrina...

I am so sorry... I know virtually nothing about Wish Trips, so I am no help to you. I feel badly something that is supposed to be such a magical thing has turned into a disaster for you. (((hugs))) Is there a way you can Google the information you need? Is there some sort of corporate entitiy involved that you can contact?

Being granted a Wish Trip should not put this sort of burden on your and your family... And I completely understand about needing new luggage for your situation.

I am so sorry this has been such a difficult process for you and your son. A Wish trip should not be this way. It would be a good idea if you could post your situation on this thread http://www.disboards.com/showthread.php?t=2807833 so that the other fellow Wish Trippers can give you some guidance.

I would also call your Wish Chapter and talk with them and explain how you feel and that you would like to get some guidance.
