Dear Wishing Well: Thank you so much for granting my wish. It was so much fun. I think me and my family had the most fun in Jamaica. Our swimming with the dolphins excursion was fun. We got to get in the water and the dolphins did tricks right in front of us. It was great! We also visited the Butterfly House in Grand Cayman and then went to the beach for a little bit. The cruise ship was so awesome inside and on top there was a slide and two pools ind the middle and one in the back. Every night we went to the London Restaurant. It was good and we had a great waiter. His name was Bonnie. He was really cool. All together I would like to thank you for the whole experience of getting to go on a cruise ship. It was really fun. Thank you so much, Caleb and Family.

Dear Wishing Well Foundation:
We would like to thank everyone at the Wishing Well Foundation for the wonderful life-experience you gave us. The week we spent at DisneyWorld in Florida was fabulous. It did a world of good for all of us. First of all, the Pop Century Hotel was great. Everyone there went out of their way to accommodate Annette with whatever she needed. From the candy, balloons, and toys they gave the kids when we checked in to the power strip we received from housekeeping for all of Annette's equipment to the extra towels we needed. One of the housekeepers even made cute towel bunnies for Annette. Annette had a great time. She really enjoyed getting on the rides, even the fast ones. On her birthday, the restaurant that we ate at celebrated by decorating the table with confetti, lighting a candle on a cupcake for her and singing happy birthday to her. They also gave us a pass to go to the head of the line to see Mickey Mouse. It was such a heart-warming sight, Mickey stroking and kissing my little girl; it just brought tears to my eyes. This vacation not only provided her with wonderful memories of Disney but wonderful memories of the time she got to spend alone with her daddy. During the day when it was too hot for Annette to be out, her and her daddy went back to the hotel and spent time together. Because of my husband's work schedule, it has been a long time since he has had the chance to just carry Annette and play with her or walk around with her. It was very relaxing for Annette to have time off from therapy and doctors^ visits. I cannot thank you enough for this wonderful experience you provided for Annette, Amadeus, me and Jesse. May you receive the hundred-fold blessing. Now I can say that my girl has been to the most magical place on earth and it was the Wishing Well Foundation who sent her there.

Dear Wishing Well Foundation:
What a great trip! Thank a million to "Wishing Well Foundation" who granted Abbie^s wish to Disney. We flew out Saturday, June 11th around 11:00 am. We arrived in Florida 2 hours later. We went and unpacked and headed over to MGM Studios. Disney granted Abbie a special VIP pass that let her skip waiting in long lines. We pushed her around in the and the little ones in the double stroller. Abbie, Adam and Logan went and did the big rides and Larry and I hung out at the tamer/kid friendly rides. Sunday took us to Animal Kingdom. Monday, we visited Epcot and ate dinner at Japan and watched a fabulous firework display that evening. Tuesday we took the day off from the parks and went to Disney Village, saw a movie and shopped. Wednesday we headed to Magic Kingdom. We had dinner reservations at the Crystal Palace with Pooh Bear and friends. Thursday Larry and the "big" kids went and played putt-putt golf. We basically hung out at the pool the rest of the day. Friday we went to Sea World and saw the shows and Abbie and Larry rode several of the rides. One of Abbie^s highlights was that she got to touch a dolphin. There is dolphin pool and they let people stand around it and if you^re lucky the dolphins will come close that you can touch one. We were thrilled that one of the dolphins swam right up to Abbie and let her touch him. Saturday morning we had to get up, pack and head back to the airport.
It was a great trip and one we will remember fondly. Having been on our magical trip made it hard to return to fighting cancer again...but we continue to be hopeful and we are very thankful for the Wishing Well Foundation for granting Abbie a wish.

Illness MICROCEPALY & EPILEPSY
Dear Wishing Well Foundation:
My family and I would like to say thank you for everything that your foundation has done for us. The trip that we went on was everything we could hope for and more. When we arrived at DisneyWorld we really did not know what to expect but as the days came we took them one by one. As we went on that first outage and little Jeff began to see his surroundings it was clear he knew that something special was taking place. We were able to bring him on boat ride, bus rides and train rides. The real time that he showed a lot of interest was when we began to meet the characters that were at the parks. The best thing was that little Jeff got to meet Winnie the Pooh a Disney character that his nick name Honey comes from so to see him laugh and smile as if he knew that what was going on was special for him at that time. It was great for me to see my wife and my other two children take part in the experience with little Jeff. Just to see him as he was on this trip really made me happy and gave me and the rest of my family memories that will last for ever and ever. So in closing I would like to say thank you again to you and your organization for the trip of a lifetime because with out you we might not of been able to ever take this trip and get the memories that were made while in Disney.
Sincerely:
Jeff

Dear Friends:
My son Erik and I would like to thank you so much for your kindness and the care you shown towards him. We thank you for all of your efforts in making possible for my Erik to swim with the dolphins; it was a wonderful experience, full of action in very different ways. Even leaving Florida was full of action, as you know we were forced to evacuate due to Hurricane Frances.
While we were in Florida, after the dolphin^s sessions Erik went swimming at the hotel swimming pool, the water was very warm and nice, that it was so hard to get him out of the pool. He really enjoyed his trip.
Sometimes, we parents of children with disabilities, feel that we are all alone with our needs and concerns, but knowing that there are organizations and people like you, who really care about others and understand what we are going thru, it made me believe that there is still love around, and at the same time gave me faith and hope for a better future. A future in which we will share and care for others as you have done with us, and pass onto a new generation the gift that is presented to us now.
God bless you all and receive all our love and gratitude.

Dear Wishing Well:
How can we possibly thank you for the gift you gave to Sophia. In this week alone she has not only completely enjoyed herself but made great progress in the areas of self esteem and independence. All she would do was swim. No art therapy for her, in fact her sisters and the intern did those projects for her. She learned to snorkel. The last three days with Squirt were without anyone else in the water but those two. This spilled over into other areas. No more pull-ups at night, no night light, can brush her own teeth (electric toothbrush of course). Wants to be independent. She is so happy! It was great therapy for the whole family to have this time together...our first family vacation.
Thank You!
