SUMMARY:Disney on Wheels 2024
DESCRIPTION: \nDOW 2024 from Daniel Pereira on Vimeo. \nThe Trip.\nThe Lil Abner Foundation hosted the 6th Annual Disney On Wheels  March 1st to 3rd 2024. We took 45 medically fragile children from Miami Dade and Broward County\, to visit Disney’s Magic Kingdom for the 1st time in their lives. \nThe Story.\n \nOn Friday\, we left Dolphin Mall Parking Lot\, after sharing our first meal with the children\, over 100 volunteers\, and many of our sponsors. The group was transported in 3 coach buses\, ambulances and non-emergency vehicles equipped for wheelchairs\, to the Grand Floridian Hotel and Resort at Walt Disney World. There a reception and dinner with Mickey Mouse was waiting for them\, the children received gifts and accessories that they would use the next day. \n  \nThe second day\, we visited the Magic Kingdom and needless to say\, we have many beautiful stories to share about each child’s experience and their caregivers.  Finally\, on  Sunday morning we had breakfast with the Disney characters at the Grand Floridian Convention Center. \n  \n  \nFor an instant\, stop and look at the images and the reactions will tell the full story. Photo Album available on Li’l Abner Foundation’s  Facebook page. \n  \nIncoming Trip.\nWe will be having our 7th Disney on Wheels event from February 28th  to March 2nd\, 2025\, As with any event of this magnitude\, we cannot do it alone.\nBecome a Dream Maker.\n\nWe need you to join our sponsors and make a donation to help us make this magical moment happen for another 96 medically fragile children. 100% of your donation will be used to provide adequate medical transport units\, medical staff and equipment\, police escorts\, parent bus transportation\, hotel accommodations\, meals\, park tickets\, and other essentials to make this trip possible for these very special children. Like Mother Teresa of Calcutta used to say “No donation is too small or too big”. \n\n \nTestimonials.\n  \n“Disney on Wheels did such a great job! They spared no expense in making all the kids happy. I was not expecting the level of accommodation they  brought to the table for everyone. It was a flawless trip”.  Aloisia’s Dad. \n  \n“I wanted to thank in a special way\, everyone who was involved in this wonderful excursion\, everyone without leaving anyone out\, because the truth is they were very kind to all the families. And we had a great time like never I never imagined\, my daughter enjoyed it until it surprised me\, and that is enough and beautiful. Our Volunteer was Alex and his two children. They helped us without limits\, I thank them and I love them. But I want to thank\, because I know that this activity took a lot of organization\, down to the simplest detail\, nothing was missing. Diana for all her work\, attention and love with what she does\, for all the families. And also to Raul who was in front at all times\, who prayed to God before leaving for our destination\, so that everything would be in his care. Thank you for choosing us\, we are super happy! finaly\, to all those who collaborated and supported so that this trip to Disney was up to par and fulfilled the dreams of all the children who always expect something magical. Daliany” \n  \n“For days I wanted to write to you and send you our infinite thanks for such a wonderful experience for allowing us to be part of the select group of children who attended Disney on Wheels 2024. For Sebastian the entire trip was magical. He enjoyed every moment and I know they created memorable memories in his mind and heart. Personally\, it was a literal journey towards me\, it had been years since I connected with my emotions. They have been difficult years\, from the spiritual\, personal\, professional\, to the management of interpersonal and intrapersonal intelligence. This walk definitely had an impact on me as well. It was a rollercoaster ride. Seeing each of the other dads\, seeing each of the other children\, took me to another level of understanding and gratitude. Seeing the love and willingness of each one of you\, the organizers\, volunteers… makes me think that there are still wonderful people in this world\, who even without knowing them can have a space in your heart. We have registered all of them\, without knowing their names\, in our friendly faces identifier\, those that you want to continue seeing. From the bottom of my heart\, thank you very much! and may God continue to shower you with blessings and allow you to continue forming happy smiles of the faces of those of us sometimes have tears in our eyes. Please echo this message to the rest of the group. Kind Regards. Gladys Esber\, Mother of Sebastian Duarte” \n  \n  \n  \n\nWould you like to collaborate and be part of those who make the difference?  \nYour support makes a difference.  \n2025 Disney on Wheels GoFundMe Campaign.\n\n \nFollow Disney on Wheels  on Facebook and Instagram \n \n\nThank you.\nOn behalf of our special 45 medically fragile children that made the 2024 trip Thank you to our Wonderful 2024 Disney on Wheels Sponsors \n\n\nOur Sponsors\nThe following companies generously support the efforts of Li’l Abner Foundation to bring 45 medically fragile children to the Disney on Wheels Annual Trip. \n  \nTittle Sponsor \nMercy Hospital  Medical Staff Charity \nPresenting Sponsors. \nCREI Holdings \,Insurance Nation \, National Health Transport – Give Kids the World- L&R Structural \n\n\nDouble Diamond Sponsors\nBreakwater Hospitality Group – MV Real Estate Holdings – Pax Services\n\nDiamond Sponsor\nDolphin Mall\n\nPlatinum Sponsor\nCentennial Bank\n\nGold Sponsors\nBadia Spices – Burgos Lanza Architects- Jose & Vilma Migenis – RamTech – Sunshine Gasoline Distributors\n\nSilver Sponsors.\nOzinga Brothers – Sergio’s Printing\n\nBronze Sponsors\n Comcast – Crescencio & Laura Ruiz – New York Life – Real Estate Empire Group – Regis HR – Regis RO – Sweetwater Commissioner Jose Marti –\nAVER Productions – MDC Comm JC Bermudez\n\nSponsors\nBelen Alumni Association – Bravo & Partners – Carlos & Olga Vara – Engine Overhaul Service – Friendly John – I Will I can Foundation – Jose Bermudez JAB Miami – Mc Donald’s Doral\, Nancy Dudash\, Presidente Supermarkets\, Ruth Jimenez\, Valsan Internet Sales\n\nFriend Sponsor\n.All Access Dance Studio – Baker Family Trust – Brannon Specialties – Caribe Restaurants – Doral Automotive Group – Jennifer Rodz State Farm Agency – Luxetech – Party Cake bakeries\, Pizza Hut\, Roger Forbes\, Sweetwater P.D\n\n\n\n\n\n
