Hi, I'm Christina Perez and I'm extremely passionate about this wonderful organization. I volunteer 2-3 times a week at the Give Kids the World Village, mainly in the character program. I get to “Hang out” with Ms Merry and Reme and it’s a true pleasure! 

I’m thrilled to be a part of this inaugural event benefiting Give Kids The World Village. When it’s done, I’ll have a fantastic story to tell — 32 stories, to be exact.

On February 9, I’ll be rappelling down the side of the Hyatt Regency Hotel. With other fundraisers, I’ll descend 428 feet straight down to help make dreams come true for critically ill kids.

It seems crazy, but it’s nothing compared to what the kids at Give Kids The World Village face. Their lives are dominated by hospital stays and medical procedures. They miss out on school activities, sports, and time with friends.

Give Kids The World helps them reclaim that time.

It’s a home-away-from-home for wish children visiting Orlando’s world-famous attractions. Children and their families stay at the nonprofit, 84-acre, storybook resort and are treated to weeklong, dream vacations. No child is turned away, and no family ever pays a dime. Last year, Give Kids The World hosted nearly 8,000 families!

The Village matters to me because it creates happiness and hope for children and families who need it most. I can’t think of a better reason to go Over The Edge.

But I need your help. In order to rappel I need to raise at least $1,000, but my true goal is $2,500! No donation is too small, it's all going to a great cause. To make a tax-deductible donation, click the big green "Donate Now" button. Any questions, just ask me.

Thank you from me and the kids you’re going to help!
