Hey everyone... I've posted Isaiah's post on my blog. If you want to read Jennifer's post, take a look. It's in my signature line under The Homeschooling Blog. Looks like they've not raised any money yet. This family could use some publicity.
I already rec'd a negative and anonymous comment on my blog about this post. I don't generally publish anonymous comments, so you'll not find it on my blog. Not everyone will like that you're trying to help someone raise money to send a boy (and family) to Disney World. In my opinion (for what it's worth), families of special needs kids go through a tremendous amount of strife, grief, lost sleep, financial burden, anxiety, and often times loneliness and the real feeling of isolation. I know because I have a son with autism. I also work with SPED kids.
If anyone needs a vacation from their every day, it's the family of a special needs child. I don't feel bad in the slightest for helping Jennifer by posting her story.
I sincerely hope and pray they meet their goal. Disney is a fantastic place to take a child with autism. We've taken our son several times. Unlike Jennifer, we were able to pay for the trip and didn't ask for help. If we hadn't had the money, I'd have done the same thing she's doing now.
Blessings Jennifer!
