I took a break for a little bit to do something that’s important to me…..spend same time with a little boy and his family from Make a Wish Foundation who came here from Chicago. Meet Maxi, one tough four-year-old cookie who has already went through a lot of pain and suffering in his life.  He is doing well now and I was more than happy to be his guide and translator on his Orlando vacations.  We visited ALL Disney parks, Sea World, Universal Studios and Island of Adventure. Maxi was full of energy even after the adults were getting worn out…what a trooper!  

The family stayed at the Give Kids The World Village that hosts only families with Children with life-threatening illnesses.  It’s a truly whimsical resort where Christmas comes every Thursday, you get to eat banana split for breakfast and be tucked in in bed by a giant Rabbit. (www.GKTW.org).  If you ever have a desire to volunteer for a good cause, the GKTW always welcomes volunteers.  As a matter of fact, their operations is based on volunteers  so go ahead, give them a hand,  you will be glad you did when you see the little kids being care free and happy.
