In Their Own Words

“I’m writing you this email because I just need some way to thank you, beyond all the pictures. The whole vacation was perfect. Staying at the villa at Give Kids the World was great. Ice Cream at all parts of the day, even breakfast, and just relaxing by the pool was also nice and needed because a different park on each day is exhausting but lodes of fun. Going to Hollywood Studios and building my custom lightsaber was by far the best part. The whole experience of the whole thing was amazing, even my brother who hasn’t seen star wars said he got goosehlbumps. They even gave me a carrying case for my lightsaber to transport home. I know if I went again in the future, it wouldn’t be the same experience, that’s how amazing this one was. There’s was also a lot of little things that also made it great. Believe it or not at Animal Kingdom a wild bird came into my space while I was eating and just stay there, until I made eye contact with it. Then jumping up and with it’s massive beak, it stole my food off my plate and flew a way quickly, it startled me so much that I tipped my seat over and fell on the floor. Luckily I didn’t get hurt, not even a cut or bruise, but it moments like that, that really made you realize how special that trip was. Anyways thank you again, I hope maybe one day we can meet again.” ~ Zack

 “Words can’t even express how truly grateful we are to have had Zack’s wish granted. For the first time since his brain tumor, Zack was the happiest and most motivated during this vacation. Every possible detail was thought out which made the experience even more special. This was an adventure of a lifetime with so many amazing memories and family times together that Zack will never forget for the rest of his life. Thank you, Rosemary, for everything you did for Zack and for everything you do to help families like ours.” ~ Lisa
