Through all of the struggles we have been through in the past 3 years since Amethyst was diagnosed with her tumor I have been amazed at the kindness and generosity of strangers. There are many amazing organizations set up to help those going through hard times and they are mostly run by volunteers. Yesterday we met two more amazing ladies from the make-a-wish foundation, working hard to give Ammy a week that she will never forget.
Ammy's wish is to stay the night in the Cinderella castle in disneyland. The suite located here was made in 2007 for the year of a million dreams promotion. The suite is only used as a prize that can be given and no one is able to stay for money. The space was set aside for Walt Disney and his family to be able to stay in the park. The operators of the park feel like it would be against Disney's vision to allow anyone to stay there for a price. Although this would be a difficult wish to grant it would be truly magical if it were to happen. Hopefully we will know within the next few weeks!
If we are unable to stay in the castle there is another place set up called Give kids the world which make a wish partners with. It is super cool as well. Each family staying there are placed in two bedroom villas. It has a carousel, train station, horses, swimming pool, mini golf, as well as an ice cream parlor with all you can eat ice cream open from 7:30a.m-9:30 p.m. They celebrate Christmas every thursday complete with cariage rides, and santa clause. All make a wish kids who stay in the area are welcome to come and hang out, so even if we stay in the castle we will be able to partake in these fun things as well. I think Steve and I might be almost as excited as the kiddo!
All this should be taking place after the new year, that way Ammy can get the most out of her experience since we will be done with chemo.
