Testimonials

To Everyone that made this trip possible,
I wanted to take the time to express how much this trip meant to us as a family. We are so grateful to you all for your amazing generosity. As parents it was the greatest thing to see our kids so happy and excited. Our boys have always been so great with Ellainie. They have not fought or complained when we were held because of their sister's limitations. We have been through some holidays in the hospital, a trach[eotomy], which really set restraints on what we could do outside our home. We were able to remove that trach in June and this trip was perfect timing for the kids. It has been a rough couple of years and it was such a blessing to be able to just spend time as a family. There was absolutely no stress when it came to this vacation and that was because of the wonderful people at Ginny's Kids. You made it possible that we could just go and have fun and not worry about the expense a trip like this would cost…
…My son Brian has now been inspired that he would like to work with you all one day. He said he would love to see the faces of the families when they find out they are going to Disneyland. Our life has been very different since we had Ellainie, but I thank God everyday that we have her especially when I see how my kids want to make a difference for others.
I don't think I can ever fully express how much this meant to our family and how grateful we are that there are people in this world like you.

Thank you!
For all your support!

During Adams Camp, Tyson was able to participate in canoeing, rock climbing, swimming and best of all horseback riding! All while doing intense therapy. During his time at Adams Camp he learned so many skills, he has since been able to use them in his everyday life, school or home! Tyson loved his horse Nibbles and can't wait to go back to see him! We as his parents have seen a great improvement not only with his communication and use of words but also with his coping and social skills! This has been truly life changing for Tyson and our family! We could have done this without your generosity!

Your kind generosity towards Tyson journey to Adams Camp has been successful! We could not have done this alone! So we Thank you from the bottom of our hearts! This is not only a journey for Tyson to experience, it is a new stepping stone in our journey as a family and also for us as his parents!

With Love,
Mark, Trina, Tyson and Zakai :)
