Every family that we know took a trip to Disney World or a trip somewhere - we have a clinic family that is going on a cruise this summer. I know they grant shopping sprees to places (I know some teenagers ask for that) but I had never heard of them doing this. Did it say which chapter?
I hope both organizations pull all ties with Petland. |
I too remember when my neighbor's little girl had her wish there was a list of acceptable wishes that could be granted and remember looking at all of the paperwork for her wish. During her entire chemo that is all that she talked about~Disney.
If you go back to my post on the very first page there is a link. But quickly this is a copy/paste of the paragraph
The Make-A-Wish Foundation® of Greater Ohio, Kentucky and Indiana, Northeast Ohio Region in collaboration with Petland, Inc.TM will grant the furry wish of a very special Middlefield teenager.
What is shocking is that Petland is picketed practically weekly in the IN area so how they let this slip past them is beyond me. There is also another petshop in Northwest IN St. John to be specific called Alsip Nursery. Not that long ago I remember them donating a puppy as well to a sick child but it was not through MaW.
Maybe we could help direct us up the chain of commend to get more awareness to MaW about Petland. This just seems so wrong.
