Hi kidd and crew. I am proud of everything ya'll do for these kids. I was 15 when I was diagnosed with Hodgkins Lymphoma. I had a hard time with the disease but, I have had a hard time with surviving also. It saddens me to know that Kids that have been "afflicted" with this horrible disease, knowing that this could be their last chance to be a kid. I remember my Dr. saying "you know, by the time we are done, you'll think we've done everything but an autopsy". Believe me I did think that at ti

my baby boy may be little but this might be the only vacation I will ever have as a family with my baby. I hope not but with the doctor stating that my baby needs a heart transplant. i would really just love one getaway with him and my family a disney. Just to make memories and enjoy ourselves. Instead of always being in a hospital continuously.

Several years ago I attended a even to benefit Kidd Kidd's called the Second Chance Prom. It was one of the best evenings I had. My prom was not that memorable. After that year, the Second Chance Prom has never happened again. I wish that the event would happen again, and if help is needed planning I would love to participate. Thank you! Continue

13 years ago today, 3-15-1997, my mum gave birth to a little boy. A little boy who was born early, who could fit into the palm of her hand, a little boy who never thought would live.
He had to be put into intensive care and the doctor had told my mum that he may not survive the night even though he was hooked up to alot of machines. But still then my mum didn't give give up, she wouldn't give up, on him. My mum had help with money from different organisations to help with gas m

This past friday the 12th, Vincent turned 6 years old and is quite proud of it. He continues to talk about the trip and cant wait until the next time we get to go. His charm and witt continues to get better everyday and I try my best to keep up with him in every way I can. I thank God every day knowing that after every thing that he went through and five heart operations later he is stronger and smarter each and every day.
Love you all our Kidds kids friends,
The Alvarez

My son, Matthew was chosen this past year to attend the Kidd's Kids trip to DisneyWorld. The entire family had a remarkable time, as this was our first trip to Disney. I always wondered how and why we were chosen. I knew exactly what Matt had endured this past year after he was diagnosed with Osteosarcoma a year ago in January and knew that he was a perfect choice. What I didn't know was that this was going to be our last trip together as a family. Two months after our trip, Matthew passed away.…
