Disneylink is part of Disney's Group Booking Agents, who mainly deal with Schools, Play Groups and Disable Children Groups. Once a month we also sell to the public via our web-site and because we purchase our trips about a year in advance, we tend to be a lot cheaper than Disney direct, even with their special deals.
Once a year Disneylink, with the help from our customers past and present, helps a family in need to forfill their dreams by sending them to Disneyland Paris on one of our trips.
Disneylink pay's £5 in to a special fund for every adult that books with us, but even with this donation we still need your help, plus isn't it good to know you are helping a family who needs some luck and happiness in their life.
With your help we need to rase as much money as possible to help children like Victoria (below) to forfill their dreams at Disneyland Paris.
As with most Charities we still need more funds and help, so PLEASE DONATE TODAY and bring Hope and Happiness to a seriously or terminally ill child or even a family just down on their luck... MAKE THESE WISH COME TRUE.
Victoria
Victoria was at the time a 13 years old with Trisomy 21 Acute Myeloid Leukeamia and Cardiomyopathy, which results in only having a 12% heart function, and is awaiting a heart transplant Victoria also has Down Syndrome and suffers from Alopecia and irritable bowel syndrome.
Even though this little princess has a great deal to cope with medically she is a lovely, happy little girl who just adores Disney Characters and Princesses. Due to her condition Victoria dosen't attend school, but is home taught and has a limited number of friends. Victoria has a lovely imagination and expresses this through play.
Victoria lives with her mum, dad and older brother Alec in Whitchurch, Cardiff, South Wales.
When her mother told Victoria she was going to Disneyland Paris by Eurostar she got really excited, and asked if the train was like the Polar Express, then added "I can't wait to meet the Disney Characters and all the Disney Princesses with their lovely dresses and sparkles, it's so exciting... am I really going mummy... Honest?"

Courtney who is 5 years old lives at home with her mother and younger sister Chloe who is 3 years old. As a toddler Courtney developed her language normally, until she was 15 months old, this is when she stopped talking. Since then Courtney has had a severe speech, language and expressive language problem.
Over the past 3 years Courtney has been to many assessment and therapy sessions at school, clinics and hospital, without much success, and has now withdrawn into herself.
Courtney's mother reports that she and Chloe finds it hard to understand most of the words that Courtney says, which leads to frustration within the family unit and at school during which she shuts down and will not attempt any more words.
Courtney prefers rough and tumble play at home, at school she likes to play with dressing-up clothes. Her teacher said that Courtney enjoys exploratory play and a clear desire to play alongside other children, with eye contact then copies their actions.

Disneylinks friend and fundraising contact in Wales, Peter Edwards, has been along to meet both familes and reports:
I arranged for both families to meet on the Welsh borders, they got on very well together and are very compatible about sharing a room.
Before meeting Katie & Marie I had never heard of CRMO, since meeting this family I have been online to find out more (above is a link which tells you more about CRMO). I have put this family forward because of the pain and suffering this little girl has been through in the past 3 years and still remains cheerful throughout.
Courtany's family is in need of urgent help! Going to Disney may be the spark that is needed to start Courtney talking again. The family have never been able to afford a holiday, let alone a trip to Disney.
