    I gotta say this...If I EVER come in to a large sum of money, like winning the lottery, you know what one of the things I want to do is? I will call Make A Wish or contact them somehow, and grant a couple of wishes for kids, no questions asked, and the charity wouldn't be on the hook for any expense at all. I love this stuff, love the videos even more. I've never known anyone that's been through tough times like this, but I don't care, this stuff is AWESOME like I said. Keep it up.

      When I flew one way to move to Germany.... even though it wasn't much, I gave my flier miles to Make a Wish. I got a letter that said how grateful they were, even if a person only gave one free mile, or hundreds of thousands.....so I know any gift is appreciated.

    • @ethanweeter2732
      @ethanweeter2732 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      That is what every lottery winner should be allowed to do with the taxes, in my opinion. I think some of the taxes should go to paying for charity.

  • @catjudo1
    @catjudo1 5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I would have loved to meet Dale Sr. and/or Dan Gurney, but almost 45 years of good health have been a good consolation prize. Makes me smile when the drivers spend time with fans, and I can't imagine being a kid and being that sick.

    Thanks for watching our videos & commenting, Kyle. Wishes are hard to quantify if you've never met a wish kid.
    A 2011 U.S. study of wish impact found: Most health professionals believe a wish-come-true can have positive impacts on the health of a child. Kids say wishes give them renewed strength to fight their illnesses, and their parents say these experiences helped strengthen the entire family.
    Wish experiences are life-changing experiences. It's why we believe so strongly in our mission.

    In the UK we have changed Organ Donation to Presumed Consent and you have to OPT OUT of donating.

    I'm 15 years old now but when I was about 8 years old I wanted to drive go karts competitively and my parents thought it would be a good thing for me to do and I really loved watching motorsports so I really wanted to try it. but then my parents found out how much a small go kart cost and how much it costs to maintain it. and that was the beginning of the end of that.

    @kylewagoner 11 ปีที่แล้ว

    I don't know about some of these things. The idea is really, really nice but when you get into really prying and hurtful questions and when people just let them win, it's a little much. I mean, he's a teenager, he got to know they're just letting him win which I'm sure kind of makes him feel diminished. Still, it'd be a really awesome experience.
