Trying to grant a wish for Dakotah....Will you please help?

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 –

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.
