Sad but uplifting story

[punafish]

Aloha Mella and thanks for your response. The story not only makes you want to help the kid, it humbles you - makes you want to be a braver, better person. (Suddenly the powder post beetle infestation doesn't seem like much of a problem.) I just wish the doctors could clear him to go. If they change their mind, I offered up our home to him and his family, although I think Oahu might be closer to what Tyler had in mind. I also have some friends high up in the hotel industry in Oahu, so in the event that he COULD go, I think I might be able to cash in some favors in Waikiki if the docs reverse their decision. Wish we could find a local celebrity to fly him over in comfort on a private plane. Sounds like something the "Make a Wish Foundation" might be interested in...
Any other ideas out there on how to bring Hawaii to Tyler?
Thanks again for caring enough to read and respond.
Tim
