I am so excited to announce that a group of friends and I have decided to raise money for this AWESOME charity. If you don't know anything about Give Kids The World(GKTW),it is a village located in Orlando Florida that provides all-expenses paid vacations for entire families of children with life-threatening illness.
This cause really hits home for me because I have had several friends who have been able to go and stay at the GKTW village and take vacations they otherwise wouldn't have been able to take. We have set our group goal to raise for 40K dollars. WE are spread all over the south and southeast of the country, and also in Puerto Rico, so this number is achievable. We are collecting the monies now through the 12th of July and on the 15th of July a group of us are going there and volunteering as well as giving them an oversized cardboard check for the total amount(which they will already have because it oes directly to their account). You can watch NUMEROUS accounts of families who have visited the village on Youtube. It will leave you and tears and take away ANY question as to WHY we choose THIS charity, to help make a difference.
SO, I come to ALL of you today and ask you to PLEASE PLEASE donate to this cause. My friends and I set up a page using firstgiving.com so you can give with out any question of "does this REALLY go to GKTW or is this a scam?" ALL you have to do is ask yourself, can I do without my AM Latte one day, can I give a dollar I have in change beneath my couch cushions. Can I take my lunch this week instead of spending $10 dollars a day. WHAT small sacrifice can I make, that will make a huge difference for families, who literally LIVE in hospitals, and the last thing they EVER think about is vacation. Can you be the one to put the smile on the face of those kids?
