Emma is a beautiful little girl with a charming personality. “Quiet at first… but a talker once she gets to know you,” says Shawn, her Dream captain. Emma’s dream was for her and her brothers to go to Disney World so the Dream Connection did just that.

The family got a trip to Orlando which included round trip flight, a rental car to go visit the beach, a week at the awesome Give Kids the World Resort and passes to all of the area attractions.

Their stay at Give Kids The World Resort included fishing which, by the looks of it, was a memorable one.
