This 7-year-old girl loves to read, sew and sing. However, unlike most children her age, Carolyn has already fought a tough battle - the battle for her life against leukemia. At 4 years old, Carolyn was diagnosed with cancer, and she has spent the past two years in the hospital undergoing treatment and fighting numerous complications. She kept up her spirits by thinking about the special wish she will soon receive from Magic Moments.<br /> <br /> In May 2009, Carolyn completed her last treatment and is now able to make her wish a reality. She wanted to wait until her treatments were finished so she "could really enjoy it and not have to ride around in a wheelchair." On December 17th Carolyn and her family will be traveling to Orlando to spend an entire week at Disney World! She is counting down the days until she boards the plane and leaves for her magical trip.<br /> <br /> Most children have not had to battle and fight the way Carolyn has. She has proven to be brave beyond her years, and it has been the excitement of looking forward to her wish from Magic Moments coming true that has pulled her through. Please help us make this wish come true for this strong and remarkable little girl. Your donation is tax deductible, so please help us to make the Magic Kingdom a Magic Moment for Carolyn.</span></p> <p><span style="font-family: times new roman; font-size: 18px;">We are accepting donations in our office Monday – Friday 8:00 am-5:00 pm and Saturdays 9:00 am-3:00 pm or via mail.</span></p> <p><span style="font-family: times new roman; font-size: 18px;">If you would like to mail a donation please make checks payable to Magic Moments and mail to:</span></p> <p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: times new roman; font-size: 18px;">Guide Insurance Agency</span></p> <p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: times new roman; font-size: 18px;">201 Vulcan Rd Ste 256 </span></p> <p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: times new roman; font-size: 18px;">Homewood AL 35209</span></p> urn:uuid:4d5b97b6-118e-4b10-95e7-c79d1ab8f911We here at Guide Insurance Agency are excited to let you know that we are now proud sponsors of the local charity Magic Moments.

During its first three months of inception, Magic Moments granted three wishes. Now in its 25th year of operation, we have granted over 3,800 <em>magic moments</em> to Alabama’s critically-ill children.<br /> <br /> <br /> We are working very hard to raise enough money to send one very deserving child to Disney World to fulfill their wish and it is the most gratifying feeling to know that we, along with the help of our friends, family and customers, have the ability to make this wish come true for this special child. Not only are we excited about this wonderful opportunity to help someone in such way but we are looking forward to continuing to donate and work with Magic Moments for many years to come.<br /> <br /> If you would like to know more about Magic Moments and all the remarkable things they do please visit their website at </span><a href="http://www.magicmoments.org"><span style="font-size: 16px;">www.magicmoments.org</span></a><span style="font-size: 16px;">.</span> urn:uuid:3f4ec448-29a9-4df3-b450-72cbf62945cdSaturday October 10, 2009 Susan G.
