Sawyer's Wish



     A couple of months ago,  two volunteers from  the Make A Wish Foundation of VA, came by to interview Sawyer.  After asking him many questions about his favorite things, they ended their interview by asking him for his wish.  Sawyer responded,

"I want to have pizza with Mickey at Donald's house."

     Sawyer is getting his wish!  Make A Wish is sending Sawyer to Florida to have pizza with Mickey! They are also allowing the WHOLE family to tag along and spend a week at Make A Wish Village with passes to all of the Disney Parks, Sea World, and Universal Orlando Resort Park!!   This is an ALL expense paid trip by Make A Wish!!!

     Sawyer was giddy when he found out that his wish would be granted.  The two volunteers who interviewed him, David and Katie, recently came by to celebrate Sawyer and his wish.  They brought his favorite cake and snacks (Doritos and chocolate milk… of course!).



     It was the coolest party.  David and Katie shared all of the details regarding the upcoming trip, especially the reservation for a meal with Mickey. They also brought many gifts for Sawyer including toys and games for the plane trip and a Make A Wish t-shirt.  Sawyer slept in the t-shirt that night and it's been one of his favorites since that day. 

     We have been blown away by the thought of this incredible blessing.  It's such a big deal for our family that  I don’t think we will believe it is really happening until we get there.  Wow!

this brought tears to my eyes...Your family is so blessed by GOD and it really touches my heart to see GOD at work through the hard times, the fun times, the praying times, the WAITING times and just all around daily times in every situation. I pray this trip will be so memorable for all of you that NOTHING would hinder or thwart the JOY that GOD intends for you to have as a family . Trusting GOD step by step through your trip from beginning to end. GOD is a faithful GOD ...the Alpha and Omega ( beginning and end ) and HE will sustain and bring you a fun, joyful, memorable time from start to finish ! GOD BLESS.
