The below email is from Jason Mundy who leads our Jacksonville, FL HD Support group. The Memories of Love website doesn't indicate that wishes are solely for Florida families so it appears wish grants would be open to any HD family!
Memories of Love is a 501 © (3) non-profit service organization supported by companies and contributors from the general public. Our mission is single focused to fulfill Florida dream vacations for families with young children and a parent facing life threatening illness. We help create joyful lasting and loving memories by sending the entire family for five days to Orlando, Florida for a fun-filled vacation far removed from mounting medical bills, therapy and hospital visits. Through the generosity of corporate partners/sponsors, we are able to provide tickets to the area’s best loved theme parks: Universal Studios / Island of Adventures DisneyWorld and SeaWorld, as well as a beautiful room at one of 13 area Holiday Inn Resorts, meals, and financial support for travel and incidentals.

This organization reached out to my family and provided my brother with a wonderful Orlando Theme Park package. Kayla, his 4 year old daughter, has been raving about the vacation since she has been back. With the high cost of medication and treatments, my brother would of never been able to afford that vacation.
Besides being a wonderful agency, the staff are some of the most caring and genually nice people I have ever dealt with.
