Thanks to "Dream Come True of Western Connecticut" We went to "Give Kids the World" village in June of 2010. It was the most amazing experience... Give kids the world is a place...a beautiful village....designed for families with special needs children, or terminally ill children...it is almost 100% volunteer run.. really nice villas', and everything there is accessible and wonderful. Parties everyday, a present for the kids everyday...food was provided... and also they give you VIP park passes to all the Orlando attractions.
We also had a gift to go swim with dolphins at "DISCOVERY COVE"... that was the most fabulous part. It was surreal how pretty that place was. I could stay there for a week in a chair and sleep.
Our children were able to enjoy the parks together...something very RARE for a family with a special needs medically fragile boy in a wheelchair. I think I went on just about every rollercoster there was....because I am a rollercoaster NUT....
But the best part of this gift, was just to be able to relax and not worry... at least until towards the end of the week. Daniel had a fever in Animal Kingdom...and I went...from paradise to ambulance ....to hospital. Reminding me of the reality of my life.
Coming home was hard....because we didnt get much vacation or any breaks for the rest of the summer. But that trip to Florida was incredible.... flying was hard (united was not user friendly for Daniel)...but we made it.
Thank you and appreciation for Dream Come True Connecticut...forever and ever and ever. You changed our life this past summer.
