Our daughter just got told she is being granted a wish and she is choosing a week in Aulani in early 2020!
Please let them know how grateful we and so many others are for so many to take so much time and give . Truly some days it’s what keeps so many family going . This last week alone we had a minimum of 3 doctors appointments per day .1) Sunshine Foundation is a nice "camp". The are small, but VERY CARING.
2) Our Kiwanis Key Club (high school branch of Kiwanis) volunteers there frequently.
3) You will be pleased with their attention to people with health issues.
4) Have fun and enjoy the trip . . . all of you!
NOTE: Sunshine Foundation takes kids who have severe and chronic health problems, where as GKTW takes kids sponsored by Make-A-Wish and are *usually* terminal. A big difference, but they fill a very critical need, and they do it very well. We are highly proud of this organization.

Please accept my apology my intentions were to not offend anyone . I should have said more severe that would have been a better word . As I had posted in a previous post it was a very long couple of months wth hospital ,therapy appointment and doctors. Autumn had been paralyzed and in rigger for day which means I had to care for my child as if they were a stroke patient.Are you sure on that? Definitely not true based on the sample on this thread (admittedly, it could be biased). Many do have diseases that could/may be fatal, but it is definitely not true that most children have received a terminal diagnosis (I have a personal issue with referring to a person as "terminal", but admit that that is a person thing).

I was checking up on you and how you are doing? I hope you are all doing well.So, unfortunately our daughter relapsed last year. She had her first make a wish trip to Disney when she was 3.5; (she is 7 now). Our social worker told us that she would qualify for a second wish through the Marty Lyons Foundation. Again, she wants to do Disney. However, since it is a second wish--she wouldn't stay at the GKTW or get the genie pass. It would also just be Disney. Has anyone used the Marty Lyons foundation for a second wish to Disney-what can we expect?

I would wish for Disneyland. Btw change it up.
But it was really nice visiting gtktw finding our star having ice cream going to the party. None of that changes just cant stay there. I'm so sorry that you are rebattleing this demon
Rusty, i had no idea they might give alumni a genie pass. Would i call in advance to ask this, or ask about it when we go back to visit the village?FOR PREVIOUS GKTW GUESTS . . .
1) You can only stay at GKTW one per "Wish Granted Child".
2) However, as a alum, you can day-visit GKTW as many times as you wish.
3) If you ask very nicely, they have been know to arrange a Genie Pass for you at WDW.
