Kidd's Kids: The Kidd Kraddick Foundation

I remember thinking I had the worst life growing up as a child.  As I've aged, I've determined that I was ridiculous and selfish.  I had it really good.  There are so many children who are suffering from terminal illnesses and/or chronic illnesses--many of whom have lost hope.  Many of these children wouldn't ever be able to take a trip to Disneyworld.  Many of them have had to grow up way too fast.  Kidd's Kids Foundation seeks to help these kids be kids again.
The primary goal of Kidd's Kids Foundation is to provide an all-expenses paid trip to Disneyworld for chronically ill and children with special medical needs.  Many of the families chosen to attend the trip are unable to afford such a trip, and the Kidd Kraddick morning radio show helps raise funds to cover the trip.  Every year, they sponsor about 50 kids and their families to attend the trip and take care of all of the work behind it.  They give the children a 5-day vacation and cover all meals, airfare, lodging and even give them each some spending money.

There are several ways you can become involved.  You can volunteer your time, you can donate money, you can buy merchandise online, and you can do corporate matching.

You can also become involved in The Glamour Squad.  It is also backed by the Kidd Kraddick morning show.  The Glamour Squad takes licensed cosmetologists and volunteers for a day of beauty for terminally/chronically ill teenage girls between 12-19.

Both of these organizations are wonderful and I encourage you to check out the web site and become involved.  You can tell they have a heart for service.
