ok ladies, I'm going out on a limb here.....

one of the residents here in my company is turning 64 on March 23rd. All he asked for was spare change so he can save for Florida. He went to Florida this past January with my company and seriously had the time of his life. I really wish I could show you pictures of him but I can't (because he is a resident)
A little about him...
His name is Steve
He can't work because of his disability
He's so fragile-because of his disability you would think this man is 90 yrs old. I can't even believe he got on a plane and lasted in Disney for 2 weeks
His only dream now is to go back again

My boss paid for his trip last year and is willing to do it again. He wants to "save" HIS money but like I said has no income.

He has no family, he hasn't for years and has been in a facility or group home for most of his life

right now he's living with Korey's brother and is just the sweetest man

here's where you all come in.....
you got any loose change? I know that can be hard to mail but if you still want to help.....weather its .50 cents or $10 you can send it or paypal me and I can get it in change. My boss has buttons and a gigantic card for everyone to sign. So if you do help your name will go on the card and you will receive a pin

I'm on the freaklist or you can paypal me at toddersv@hotmail

Thanks in advance ladies

**SarainMN3** · 03-11-2008 06:45 AM

she told me to say you are all part of the Disney Magic and couldn't believe it when I told her the amount so far!!

keep it comin' ladies

**KoreyL** · 03-11-2008 06:48 AM

Wonderful idea Miss Sara....

And to back up what Sara has said...my brother said that as they were driving into Disney World on the first day of the trip, B.J. (my bro) said "Steve, we are in Disney World...where all the magic happens." and Steve said "I can feel the magic!"

B.J. also recounted that Steve cried of pure JOY no less than 10 times while visiting Disney.

And finally...his favorite ride at Disney World was the "magical" It's a Small World.

Sara...I'll be sending sumping your way soon!

Grant (my DH) is also going to make a CD of Disney World Theme Park music for Steve!

**SarainMN3** · 03-11-2008 06:50 AM

thanks Korey!!!

ya, BJ and the staff said that Steve kept crying because it was a dream come true!!!!!!

I so wish I could show you pics but I can't

**SarainMN3** · 03-11-2008 06:51 AM

Thanks sooooooooooo much Fake!!!!! I can't wait to tell Steve of his friends all over the world!!!!!

**SarainMN3** · 03-11-2008 07:31 AM

I just called Korey's brother BJ and told him about all of you and what you are doing for Steve (if you remember he posted on her under me saying that we should vote Korey the geek award)

he just couldn't believe it, he said "I have no words"

**Hammer** · 03-11-2008 07:37 AM

Sara... do we get to find out how much we raised for him?

I love to know, this is fantastic!

**SarainMN3** · 03-11-2008 07:39 AM

yes, yes, yes!!!!! I can tell you so far we have

$110

**SarainMN3** · 03-11-2008 07:41 AM

my boss has set up a separate account for him so for every $ after 64 will go into his account to save for FL.
It costs about $2200 to go on this 2 week trip. And its a trip of a lifetime

**SarainMN3** · 03-11-2008 07:43 AM

keep it coming girls!!

This guy is the sweetest thing!! He truly believes in Santa and the Easter bunny and is over joyed when he gets gifts of any sort because before he came to Enrich (our company) he thought Santa kept forgetting about him

My boss goes over and beyond for him and tells him Santa or the Easter bunny would never forget again!!!
