Our daughter's wish was to go to Disney. Little did we know GKTW was even more of a magical place. The family wants to go back to Orlando so we can come back for a visit. Our oldest son (non-wish child) talks about how special the village is several times a week. He cannot wait until he's old enough to volunteer. I pray blessings to all who are responsible and help in any way to bring smiles to so many kids who are fighting for life. For us, watching our daughter celebrate Christmas at the village was a memory we will always have. She was in her happy place. As much fun as Disney was...GKTW was a place where our daughters anxieties and fears were miraculously gone...not one meltdown (which was a miracle). God Bless Give Kids the World Village and thank you Ms. Pamela. Our family is so thankful for GKTW!! Our daughter's wish was to go to Disney. Little did we know GKTW was even more of a magical place.

For my family it was a burst of sunslight while enduring the storm around us. Having such a wonderful place to relax and pamper us was truly unexpected. My husband broke out in tears on our first night in the village, he was so humbled by the love & concern everyone showed for all of us. Thank you GKTW!!! GKTW is truly a dream come true.
