sorry if I missed this info somewhere else, but when are you planning trip for? And is it for one day or multiple? - PieRatAL
619.7 #176 5:40PM
Thanks for the txt. I have been very busy lately so I know I am missing lots of posts. - GoofyJoe
1864.1 #41 5:43PM
Click on my name and view the details on my previous posts :) I don't have any dates for the trip yet cos I'm waiting to see if I can collect enough money first. The 2 day park hoppers for SoCal residents are $99 compared to a 1 day hopper for $91 so I'm aiming for the 2 day ones. - RickeyCalifornia
157.0 #2191 5:43PM
I will pay for 1, and would like to personal hand them each a grape soda pin. - GoofyJoe
1864.1 #41 5:49PM

Have you asked CMs yet? - swingingwake
217.8 #1386 6:15PM
I missed this all too! How are you taking donations? Paypal? Wow, that's so awesome of you! :) Do you know any CMs that could sign you in? When are you taking them? they are beautiful kids. :) - PinkyMouse
80.8 #3270 6:16PM
What should I ask the CMs? - RickeyCalifornia
157.0 #2191 6:17PM
Just sent you our (tinkaboudit and I) donation. Glad to help them out. - JustGoofyDad
2130.7 #32 6:19PM
Oh I didn't know CMs could get people in free! Well if any of them want to do that then hopefully they will see my post :) @pinkymouse I'm taking paypal donations, if you have a Facebook you can search for the fanpage "help these 6 kids get to Disneyland" and it tells you how to donate there, thank you! - RickeyCalifornia
157.0 #2191 6:19PM
yes they can! I think 3 per day! :) You should find CMs to sign in and then use the money for food. I'll look for facebook page. Keep us posted on dates. I have a feeling, MWers might show up on the same day. :) - PinkyMouse
80.8 #3270 6:21PM
Ok just sent u a text, hope I did it right. - Nicole
380.2 #356 6:27PM
Such a heartbreaking story. I just "liked" the facebook page. Unfortunately the donation link doesn't work from my phone, but as soon as I'm near my computer I plan on helping out. - MizGMarie
285.0 #704 6:29PM
Big BIG thank you to justgoofydad and tinkaboutit who just donated enough for a ticket! Thank you all so much! - RickeyCalifornia
157.0 #2191 6:31PM
I'm low on funds right now since I'm currently doing my final student teaching and have no income coming in but I would love to help by at least making the girls tutu's and hair bows. I would love to personally hand them to the girls at the MW meet up in their honor. In the mean time I will see what I could do for the boys. I told my girls about this heart breaking story and they are already thinking of ways to help. Please keep us updated on the date. By the way I'm so glad those kids have you and your mom
in their lives. - MickeyLvr
24.4 #4707 6:40PM
What you are doing is so heart warming. - luvMickey
491.7 #243 6:41PM
I just reposted on my facebook page too so hopefully some of my friends will "like" the page and donate! :) - PinkyMouse
80.8 #3270 6:44PM
I have some food vouchers I'd like to give. I'm not on fb so please let me know how to send them to you. - angryduck
98.7 #3047 6:45PM
To you who donated, I just want to say you are awesome! - PIRATADELCARIBE
94.0 #3101 6:49PM
you can email me at rickeywindust@yahoo.com - RickeyCalifornia
157.0 #2191 6:50PM
That was for angryduck - RickeyCalifornia
157.0 #2191 6:51PM
Can I put a fun care package together? If that would be ok.. Email me your address:) also what are the ages of the boys? My son just got rid of a stack of clothes, he's 10! - JessM4
269.5 #830 6:52PM
That is SUCH a great idea mommof3! Anything you can do to help is appreciated! I know the girls would just love that! - RickeyCalifornia
157.0 #2191 6:52PM
@jessm4 did u get my text? U can email me at rickeywindust@yahoo.com a care package would be great thank you! - RickeyCalifornia
157.0 #2191 7:11PM
Have to go to work. Will email you tomorrow. These children are very fortunate to have you! - angryduck
98.7 #3047 7:19PM
I texted Rickey about the CM thing and she is going to let me know when they have a date. The only caveat to signing them in is there are alot of CM blackout dates coming up starting in April throught the summer, especially on the weekends :-( - Dahulagirl
1053.2 #81 7:22PM
Oh Dahulagirl I wasn't quite sure what u meant by CM blackouts, now I know! I'm just waiting to see if I can raise enough money before I set a date, at this rate tho it looks like I will so I am going to ask my mom tonight what she thinks - RickeyCalifornia
157.0 #2191 7:34PM
Yup! Got it, emailed you, and donated:) - JessM4
269.5 #830 7:35PM
Rickey make sure to update us with the date you will be taking them. Maybe we can do a little meet up for them? - LBChica
1500.3 #52 7:35PM
That's what I was thinking! - Marieeezy
588.9 #186 7:38PM
I was thinking that too! We can celebrate them :-) - KissDclown
1088.1 #77 7:46PM
Made it back to a computer and made a donation. Hope it helps! - MizGMarie
285.0 #704 7:46PM
wow MizGmarie thank you so much for your donation ( i think you are the one who donated under the name Gretchen L?) anyway, thank you guys all so much. we are so close to the goal for covering the cost of the tickets. after i reach enough to pay for the tickets, should i keep accepting donations so the kids will have money for souvenirs/food? - RickeyCalifornia
157.0 #2191 8:11PM
Yes we need to make this special for them they need to have a good time - Rob512
755.1 #134 8:21PM
@ Rickey, yes why not?! I don't think anyone would mind if their donations went towards a churro or toy:) - JessM4
269.5 #830 8:22PM
we have to be there to sign people in. post when you know the date. - BalooTBear
904.4 #97 8:24PM
I was even thinking a company D trip for these kids would be awesome - Rob512
755.1 #134 8:28PM
Yes, I'm Gretchen L. Glad I could be of help! I think you should definitely keep accepting donations. It's not just about the tickets but the whole Disney experience, which as we all well know costs $$$... :) - MizGMarie
285.0 #704 8:36PM
Yes use extra money to get personalized mouse ears, tshirts, pins for trading, photo frames etc. - Dizkid
284.2 #707 8:39PM
Yes, keep accepting. The more the merrier. It will help make their trip that much more memorable. - MickeyLvr
24.4 #4707 8:47PM
Sorry Ricky I have been really busy and not on MW alot. I remember when you first posted about the tragedy. I would be more than happy to sign them in. Let me know when you have a date and I will see if that works with my schedule . Just like dahulagirl posted weekdays would be best - sickboy
524.0 #221 9:03PM
I think you should continue accepting donations and let CMs sign everyone in. It's too expensive to use the money towards admission if you have friends that will help. You can definitely use the money towards food and other things. If you're there all day, it will be a lot to be paying for. :) - PinkyMouse
80.8 #3270 9:09PM
Maybe MWers should take over Minnie's character breakfast the morning of your trip! :) That would be a fun start to the day for the kids! :) - PinkyMouse
80.8 #3270 9:10PM
@sickboy, wow that would be great, how many can u sign in? And can u do it 2 days in a row? I was planning on getting them 2 day park hoppers... - RickeyCalifornia
157.0 #2191 9:12PM
Sickboy will u please email me, rickeywindust@yahoo.com :) - RickeyCalifornia
157.0 #2191 9:21PM
UPDATE: we almost have enough to cover the cost of tickets! i am so proud, thank you everyone! Most of the donations came from MouseWaiters, i cant believe how generous and kind hearted you guys are. I am going to keep collecting donations so the kids can have souvenirs/food while at the parks and im going to set a date today (ill be contacting you, DaHulagirl and sickboy) - RickeyCalifornia
157.0 #2191 8:24AM
let me know cause I want to ditch work...
- GoofyJoe
1864.1 #41 8:49AM
That's great!!! Yes, please do let us know the date. - MickeyLvr
24.4 #4707 8:54AM
That is amazing! - Dreamseeker
526.9 #219 9:02AM
Ok, finally got around to donating. wasn't much but I hope it helps. Let us know the date so we can celebrate. - BalooTBear
904.4 #97 9:23AM
@cm baloo, thank u for your donation! Some people were suggesting seeing if some CMs can sign the kids in so the money can be used toward souvenirs/food, if u think u can help with let me kno! Thank you :) - RickeyCalifornia
157.0 #2191 9:36AM
Have you looked into advocacy groups? Victims groups? Have you contacted Disney directly? - peacelovemickey
350.6 #408 9:40AM
@peacelovemickey, yes ive contacted Disney, they gave me the run around and then eventually told me to email them, I did that a week ago and still have not heard from them. The kids are getting help from a victims group for free counseling - RickeyCalifornia
157.0 #2191 9:47AM
I even tried the Ellen Degeneres show lol - RickeyCalifornia
157.0 #2191 9:56AM
Oprah? - CaptainJill
42.2 #3932 10:04AM
You could also try the local police and fire unions. They usually have funds set up for stuff like this. If you want I'll get all the contact info for you, just need to know where it happened at. - Oaklandish
3.7 #15211 10:23AM
On the Internet, they have the phone number for Ellens managers and publicist. I would put calls into them as well. Couldn't hurt. Look up Ellen DeGeneres contact info - CMsMom
445.2 #276 10:30AM
I sent an email out at work today. Hopefully it will be passed around our school district. I've already received calls this morning. - vegasbrat
403.8 #326 10:32AM
Wow Vegasbrat you are rocking!! - CaptainJill
42.2 #3932 10:33AM
Thanks everyone! @Herk the police station that handled their case has already donated money for food/clothes which my mom has put away for them for when they need it. I'm loving the suggestions tho thank u so much - RickeyCalifornia
157.0 #2191 10:36AM
Tomorrow is pay day and donating will be first on my list.is it okay to email you regarding a care package of some sort.I'm sure my youth group at church would love to help out. - WoodyNBuzz
4.0 #13767 10:45AM
@woodyNbuzz, yes of course! My email is rickeywindust@yahoo.com thank you so much - RickeyCalifornia
157.0 #2191 10:54AM
Just donated.... It wasn't much sorry. A few years back my family also went through something similar. My cousin was also killed along with his wife while his two little girl watched the whole thing. No little kid should ever have to go through that. Thank god they have awesome people like you in their lives. I hope they have an amazing day at Disneyland. - Salfam
215.9 #1403 11:16AM
will donate this week when the funds roll in....Just spread the word on my FB and at work!! - MsNick
55.9 #3642 11:19AM
I finally found the site,I guess I wasn't entering the right info at first. - cyndaws
252.8 #985 11:21AM
So cool that everyone is taking part in this! - ally
440.5 #4 11:57AM
I have never posted before but i just left a little donation, it's not much as im saving to take my 5 kids this summer but i hope it helps and you get them there soon, I also reposted the donation page on my fb. - GonzalezCrew
28.4 #4463 1:11PM
The support u r receiving is truly amazing! If I was working I would totally donate but being unemployed I don't have spare change. I did repost to fb so others could see & help out. U and ur family r a true inspiration to do better!! Thanks for being who u are! - DisneyBelle
18.3 #5237 1:18PM
Thank you @gonzalezcrew, I just received it! - RickeyCalifornia
157.0 #2191 1:18PM
Sent a small donation from Solo and I. - DizGeek
453.3 #270 1:57PM
Thank you Dizgeek I just got it :) - RickeyCalifornia
157.0 #2191 2:10PM
@RickeyCalifornia, I would like to send you a Disney gift card. That can be used for admission, food or gifts, right? Text me your address & I'll mail it to you. - Stripey
261.6 #901 2:20PM
@Rickey i will donate on Thursday. I wil also see if anyone in my fAmily wants to donate - Mrsblue
692.4 #145 2:43PM
I just made a donation to red cross for the earthquake relief in japan, so I'm broke til I get paid Friday. Bump this friday and I will be able to donate then! I think it will be an amazing thing for those children to enjoy a happy day! What a great thing for you to organize!! - LisaMouse7531
409.1 #318 2:51PM
@Rickey, I don't want to come off as a snob correcting you or anything, but I just wanted to point out that the 2-day pakhopper is 109, not 99. I would just hate for you to show up at the parks $60 short :( - cenicienta
323.8 #508 4:39PM
thank you I just looked online... It says for SoCal residents $99 for a 2 day park hopper - RickeyCalifornia
157.0 #2191 4:48PM
Oh I see what u mean! 109 for a 2 day park hopper and $99 for a 2 day, 1 park per day ticket! - RickeyCalifornia
157.0 #2191 4:49PM
Cenicienta is right. The socal 2fer is good for one park each day, but you can choose to go to the same one both days. The parkhopper is $10 more. - bluefairy
627.2 #174 4:51PM
@Rickey cms get to sign in three people per day, and those passes are park hoppers. If you can, use the cm sign ins that are being offered. - CMsMom
445.2 #276 4:56PM
thank you Cmsmom, i know sickboy said he could sign three of the kids in, im trying to see if any other CMs would like to help out, also i need to set a date with my mom so CMs can tell me their schedule :) - RickeyCalifornia
157.0 #2191 5:06PM
Rickey I sent some $$ thru paypal , did u receive it or did I send it to the wrong place? - JimW
1072.5 #80 5:11PM
@jimW, was it from Jim Wells? yes i got it. i just finished emailing you, That was so generous of you, thank you very much! - RickeyCalifornia
157.0 #2191 5:12PM
I saw the story on the news last month, before I joined MW, and I was surprised to see your personal connection to it today. My heart goes out to your family; those kids have a long road ahead of them, but it sounds like they have a good family to support them :) I was wondering, if enough money was raised, would you be interested in staying in the park for a night? There is nothing more magical than staying right there in the middle of Disney!I know I'm a newbie, but I would like to help. - TandAlly
213.5 #1440 6:08PM
Oh my goodness, yes! That would be so amazing!! The kids would be SO thrilled! - RickeyCalifornia
157.0 #2191 6:16PM
Omg! That would amazing for those kids to experience that! - DizGeek
453.3 #270 6:17PM
If you are planning to stay the night I would love to contribute I will on March 25th!! I would love to buy them some shirts to wear for their trip what sizes do they wear?? let mek now my email is litswtsmile@yahoo.com or you can text :) - litswtsmile
161.3 #2134 6:51PM
So glad to hear the kids will be going to the happiest place on earth. They deserve that more. - MickeyLvr
24.4 #4707 6:52PM
what I mean is that I will be able to contribute on that date, I'll do it on your facebook page you have :) it might not be much but something towards it - litswtsmile
161.3 #2134 6:53PM
I am having trouble getting a comment to show up, sorry if this ends up a duplicate. When you decide when you are going, will you post it? And how many people? I will see what I can do for an overnight stay for your family. If there is anyone else out there that can still help, we can make this happen! If you prefer to email or text me feel free. And if I am going about this all wrong please tell me! I know I'm new, and this is a pretty tight-knit group, I don't want to weird anyone out! - TandAlly
213.5 #1440 7:22PM
Rickey I am hoping to be able to donate something to this wonderful endeavor, but not sure when. Do you think they would like to do a small photo scavenger hunt while at the parks? I love putting together handmade keepsake books with scavenger hunts in them & could possibly put one together for each of the kids & send them out to you before your trip. Let me know asap so I can get started on them. - VikkiMouse
182.2 #1835 7:24PM
- CxD_CM
518.6 #224 9:04PM
@vikki I'm not familiar with scavenger hunts... Would it take a long time? I don't want to take away from their play time in the parks too much, And do you think the 5 year old will understand it? If so that would be great! Anything you would like to do for the kids is welcome :) thank u so much! - RickeyCalifornia
