Please help grant the wish of 15-year-old
Dakotah to meet her favorite band - (Please share if you can)
Back in July, a wish for my daughter,
Dakotah, was started by someone met through Facebook – to meet Bon Jovi. Their
music has touched her so profoundly that even though she cannot talk, she “sings”
to their songs when she hears them. This
wish included going to the MGM to see the show and meet the band (airline
tickets, concert tickets and the backstage passes). She was so excited when I told her. However, as of today (8/25), the airline and
concert tickets have not been taken care of.
Meeting the band is already being seen to.
You see, Dakotah has several terminal,
life-syndromes (Aicardi Syndrome, Hyperoxaluria, and Wolff Parkinson White
syndrome. There is a very, very high probability that she will not be living
the next time Bon Jovi tours.
I’ve reserved the hotel room at the MGM
(concert venue) by using my summer school pay. However, I need to raise $1270 for
airline tickets (due to having rods in her back and being wheelchair-bound, she
really needs non-stop and this is a non-stop flight through Southwest) If
someone has miles that they can use to help us with the tickets, that would be
great. No other airlines fly non-stop.
I need to raise $502.15 for the wheelchair
accessible concert tickets (these are floor seats so she can be as close as
possible due to her vision impairment and hopefully they’ll move us closer). I have set up a Paypal account just for this
wish for Dakotah – if you give as a gift there is no cost to you or to Dakotah’s
Paypal account. If by some miracle Bon
Jovi’s organization gives us the tickets, I will promptly send back the money
to those who donated. I am not doing
this to “make money”. The Paypal acct
email is dollar4dakotah@gmail.com. (If 888 people donate $2 each we will raise
the money for Dakotah’s wish!!)
Here are links that I wanted to share with
you –
YouTube videos of her “singing” to Bon Jovi’s
music –

You may ask why Make A Wish Foundation is not involved, well, Dakotah
had a wish from them before she was touched by Bon Jovi’s music and they only
do one wish in a lifetime. Also, flight
organizations such as Angel Flights and Operation Lift Off only fly patients
for medical appointments. Please trust that I have explored these options prior
to putting out this request.
I THANK YOU in advance for ANY assistance you can provide to me to
help me make this wish come true for my daughter. I love her with all my heart
and it hurts my heart to think this may not happen for her.
