I am a personal support worker and have been with my client for 3+ years, his name is Christopher. Since we started together, 4 winters ago, it has been his desire to travel on an airplane to a tropical destination however the funds just aren't there. We have visited the airport many times to watch travellers coming and going. I usually find a wheelchair for myself and we sit in the middle of international departures (really, right there in the hub of it all) and watch travellers while we have lunch. I'm surprised we haven't been detained yet! We also visit many travel agents to plan trips that never make it to fruition. This winter we have spent time at our local green house to get a tropical feel. These local excursions have been helpful to create the illusion of travelling, but he is no longer satisfied with my attempts to quell the fire by distraction.



Travel for someone with special needs does not come cheap. I would travel with Christopher and his mother, who is his sole guardian and primary care provider. It is an essential part of travel to have an extra able body for caregiving and ease of travel considering the severity of Chris's cerebral palsey.



I would like to raise some funds to get him one step closer to the sunshine. Thanks for your participation in helping to make this wish come true!
