I originally posted this on another message board and Brian so kindly invited me to post it here too.
I have a request that I'm hoping this network might be able to fill. Please read the following and let me know if you or anyone you know might be able to help:
A co-worker of mine (Larry) just lost his 7 year old daughter Sophie. She was born with some congenital problems and was not expected to live to adulthood, but she was expected to live longer than this. He is just shattered. The Make-A-Wish foundation was going to send them to Disney World this summer to fulfill her wish, but that obviously won't happen now. This Christmas he would like to take his wife and remaining 4 children to Disney in her memory.
What I am searching for is a willing soul with a plane big enough to carry 6 plus baggage who might donate a flight from Detroit to Orlando and back to help spare the cost of plane tickets.
We are taking up a collection at work, but I volunteered to check around with my aviation network to see if we can work something out for them because most of that money will probably need to go to lodging and Disney tickets. Taking 6 people there is not cheap.
I just lost my father and that is very difficult, but my heart just broke when I found out Larry lost his daughter.
I know most of you don't have the equipment to carry out this mission, but I thought I'd start here on the off chance that one of us might know someone who'd be willing to donate a flight.
Please let me know if you run across anyone. You can PM me as well as using the board here.
Thanks,
Carolyn
