Wish Stories

Olive’s Give Kids the World Wish had been granted!

Thank you so much! We had the BEST time. The Give the Kids the World Village was incredible and Olive felt like a princess the entire time. We cannot thank everyone at New Hope for Kids enough for this opportunity for Olive and our whole family. We were able to visit Magic Kingdom, Hollywood Studios, Epcot, Legoland and Peppa Pig, Universal Studios, and Islands of Adventure. We loved our week together as a family and we are endlessly grateful for these memories made because of New Hope for Kids. Thank you so so much again!

Violet’s Bike Wish has been granted!

Here is a note from Mom…”I just want to take a moment to thank you for all that you have done to get Violet her tricycle. She loves riding it with her brother, and her absolute favorite thing is to try to run me over. Although we are still practicing, she is getting rapidly better in a short amount of time. This will be one piece of equipment she will maneuver completely independently. We can not thank you enough!”

Celebrating World Wish Day 2024

We did everything we could do!

We had a blast at all the Disney theme parks but of course David’s favorite was Hollywood Studios because of Star Wars Land. The fun didn’t stop there we were able to go to Seaworld, Universal, Busch Gardens and Madame Tussaud’s. We had dinner at Kobe, Medieval Times, Shark Underwater Dining, and topped it off we got massages at the FL Mall! We had so much fun. The Give Kids the World village is amazing and ice cream for breakfast is great.

Honestly the wish was amazing. Thank you so much!

Olivia’s theme park wish

Olivia’s theme park and Give Kids the World wish has been granted!

Did you know each year, 30,000 children in the U.S. are diagnosed with a critical illness – and half of those eligible for a wish choose to visit Central Florida. We are so lucky to have that experience for our wish kids in our own backyard.

Olivia’s mother, Brooke, had this to say about her wish: “Our trip was amazing! Thank you so much for it. Olivia was the star of the show and got to meet some of her favorites. Honestly it was the best time we’ve had and made sure everything was about her. We made so many memories that will carry us forever! ”

Alexis’ Wish

While we are not able to cure Alexis’ life-threatening illness, we did our best to give her a beach experience that brightened her life and gave her hope. 
 
We are only able to grant wishes with the help of donors like you. Thank you for your support and for giving children like Alexis hope.

THANK YOU from the Webb Family

We can’t thank you enough for making our daughter, Emily’s, wish come true. This past year has been so difficult for her and our entire family. Holding onto the dream of being able to go to Disney once she was done with her treatments helped keep her going, and finally being healthy enough to actually go there was a dream come true. We will never forget all the wonderful memories we made together there and at Give Kids the World, and we will never be able to thank you enough for helping make that happen. Thank you!

Sincerely,
The Webb Family
Rachel, Daniel, Sean, and Emily
