having to get sponsors. Thanks again for all of you help. Deb A

Hi Deb A.It was my understanding when my son got his wish that maw

had sponsors and while we didnt have to advertise anything for their

support we were made aware of them as the sponsor and ha to cooperate

whith any publicity that the co would use in an effort to either

hel;p raise the money or allow them to be recognized for thei

contributions.We didnt have to do either, although we were

willing.Different co.'s gave different support.Meaning the gift

certificate we got for lil extras we may need came from toys r us,

and the trip was sponsored by a totally diff co., etc.

What a dream come true Give Kids the World was....they handled evry

single detail such as providing his vest during our stay, $600

spending money, free munchies and drinks and gifts everymorning in

our condo, they even paid to have a co come out and make us a key to

the rental they got us because hubby accidentally lost it on a ride

at disney....which was a nightmare might i add.Every angle was

covered and no waiting in any lines for G.K.T.W kidsat any parks,

even free stroller rental for my other 2...honest to goodness they

couldnt have done any more, we were so happy.Those are times im so

happy we have to look back on.

Sorry for babbling, just wanted to express how wonderful MAW and

G.K.T.W. is!!!!!!!No better way to go!

i have to agree, GKTW is wonderful as well as MAW. My daughter Kaylee went

to Disney and we didn't have to get any sponsors either. Maybe that place

wanted to " adopt " his wish, and that is how they got the money.
