Yes, Charity is my real name.  I have a husband and 4 children ranging in ages from 9 to 6 months.  We work hard and live in a beautiful part of the country. 

2 1/2 years ago my beloved nephew of 4 1/2 was diagnosed with Accute Lymphoblastic Lukemia (ALL).  My sister is a single mom and has devoted her whole life to caring for him.  I also joined on this path. There were many month long or longer stays at the hospital in Salt Lake City and I was there for them.  At times my nephew stayed with me and my children so he could have some normalcy of life.  I love my nephew and when I found out about Lukemia we were all heart broken, we never knew a nicer child. 

Just this last few weeks he started the process of being granted a wish through the Make-A-Wish Foundation.  He has chosen to go to Disney World.  He is so excited, but he wants us all to come.  The only down side of the wish is only immediate family is included in his wish.  So for myself and my older kids to attend we have to pay for the whole trip ourselves.  We are a hard working middle-class family and we just don't have the budget to take 4 of the 6 (my husband volunteered to stay home with the baby) to Florida to be with him for this special event in his life.  We are looking for assistance to make this trip.  I have started writing airlines and hotel companies to see if they would help us make this happen.  What I am looking for is anything to make this trip happen.  Not necessarily money, but plane tickets, hotel rooms, tickets to Disney World, things like that.  I can provide proof that the wish is in the process and that I am related if requested.

My email address is c_kidman69@yahoo.com if you would like to contact me.  Thank You.

I just wanted to let others know that this is serious, I can prove that the wish has been granted and that I am his aunt..... I never thought about doing something like this before, but I would do anything to be there for him to experience this as his family.

My nephew has been granted a wish through the Make-A-Wish Foundation, and while this is a wonderful opportunity, they only will pay for the immediate family to participate in it.  My sister is a single mother of my 6 year old nephew with Lukemia.  We petitioned the Foundation for additional help to allow the whole family to attend, because my children are the closest thing he has to siblings.  We would love nothing more than to attend Disney World with them to help make this his true dream come true.

I am looking all over for help with plane tickets, hotel rooms and park tickets.  We are going at the end of summer, early fall so I am hoping in that amount of time I could find some help for myself and 3 kids under the age of 9.

Thank you for any help or information that you can give.
