Aftermath

Comfort

We all made it back from Vegas which was a very fun time for all of us. The kids didn't want to leave. We have two months to get ready to go to Orlando and I'm so excited to go with her. She doesn't know that I'm giving her bone marrow yet. The surgery is in two weeks.

"Alana to let you know. Everything is free for you and Chloe's family"

"What about my family", I asked joking.

"Yeah we got all 17 of you guys covered"

"I was just kidding like seriously. I can pay for my entire family"

"No we appreciate you a lot so we got you covered. Today we have a party planned for all you guys to meet up and that's a total of 17 people"

"What's the party about"

"To meet each other and we explain how the trip is going to go. Alyssa and Lenny will be your sponsors."

"OK thank you so much"

"No thank you"

After that I went to go get the kids ready for the party later on today.

"Jake you called everybody right"

"Yep they will be on their way in no time"

"Ok this is just perfect"

Everyone arrived and we made our way to the restaurant.

"Hi Alana", Chloe greeted me with hugs and kisses.

"Hi how are you", I asked.

"I'm ok"

"Well these people are my family. Well their really my friends, but blood doesn't make a difference"

Everyone introduced themselves to one another and we had conversations until the sponsors arrived. Chloe held Kristie and they fell in love with one another right away.

"She's so beautiful", Chloe said holding her.

"Carlie is my girlfriend", JJ said holding her hand.

"Looks like you got an admirer Carl's", her mother said joking. The sponsors arrived with gifts and balloons.

"Hi everyone. We're here now so let's eat", they said having a seat. We started eating right away.

"Well we are the sponsors from the Make A Wish association. Its nice to meet all of you. As you can see we bought kids gifts and adults. So Chloe are you excited"

"Yes very excited"

"We're happy for you. Alana thank you so much. Let's start off with where you're going. SeaWorld, Hollywood Studios, Magical Kingdom, Animal Kingdom, and Orlando Studios."

"Oh my God this is awesome"

"That's not it. You all will be staying at Give Kids the World Village. You all will meet at the airport whatever time your flight leaves is when you all will leave."

"So what about paparazzi and everything. We're gonna be on a public airplane"

"Nope the good part you all will be on a private plane. We already made arrangements. Once you all arrive at the Orlando Florida airport you will be met with 2 people holding a sign saying welcome Chloe."

After they explained much more information we took pictures and she gave us all the things we need for Orlando. Tickets, cards, checks, money, plane tickets and much more.

Jessie is not coming with us to Orlando. So its just 17 people in all including Chloe and her family.

Our shop won the entire competition and we decided to give half to charity. Business is really great. After we won many more people started to come to both shops.
