If you are in the Central Florida area, there is an organization that you need to know about. Give Kids the World is truly making a difference. They give families with kids that are critically ill completely free dream vacations. During difficult times like that, the focus can be on doctor appointments but Give Kids the World allows families to forget about all that for a few days and just enjoy time together.
