Compassion
Two
primary compassion
programs that DisneyHand supports are the medical compassion program
and the Company�s relief efforts in the wake of September 11. The medical compassion program creates opportunities to fulfill
the wishes of children stricken with life-threatening illnesses,
support those with life-threatening medical conditions and assist
those who have suffered from natural disasters.
The Walt Disney Company and Disney employees work with
major wish-giving organizations, such as the Make-A-Wish Foundation,
Dreams Come True, A Special Wish, Starlight Foundation and Give
Kids the World.
Give
Kids The World is a 51-acre, non-profit resort for children
with life-threatening illnesses whose one wish is to visit central
Florida's best loved attractions. Through charitable
giving and donations of trips to Disney theme parks, The Walt
Disney Company helps Give Kids
The World grant wishes to terminally ill children.
Give Kids The World
Founder and President Henri Landwirth says the Village would not
exist without the dedication of the "Angel" volunteers.
