24th Annual We're Going to Disney World!

Seven Make-A-Wish & Dream Factory kids and their families joined the Warner family and First Things First for the annual weeklong trip to Florida. Five families from the St. Louis area and two families from greater Kansas City spent the week with the Warner family as bonds were formed and friendships were made while exploring the best of Orlando including Animal Kingdom, Hollywood Studios, Magic Kingdom, and Andretti Indoor Karting. First Things First has now hosted a total of 193 Wish/Dream kids for this magical week! We are so grateful for the support of our amazing partners: Give Kids the World, Dream Factory, and Make-A-Wish.

Mother's Day Reveal in Surprise, AZ

A woman in Surprise, AZ and her two daughters were surprised just before Mother's Day with complete furnishings for their new Habitat for Humanity Central Arizona home thanks to support from Aaron's Inc, U-Haul, Brooklyn Bedding, and Sprouts Farmers Market. The family worked hard to purchase their home including hundreds of hours of sweat equity. On the closing day of their home, they were surprised to find it fully furnished thanks to Aaron's Inc. A grant was provided by U-Haul to cover the cost of bedding, kitchen supplies, home decor items, and more. Brooklyn Bedding donated three mattresses along with sheets and Sprouts Farmers Market stocked the pantry with nutritious foods. This was the 65th family surprised by First Things First with Homes for the Holidays.

Catching up with Disney Alumni Families in Arizona

We were excited to gather "We're Going to Disney World!" alumni families together once again for a huge family reunion. Vertuccio Farms generously hosted the gathering as everyone enjoyed petting the animals and playing all kinds of games, sports, and bounce time for kids. Carrabba's Italian Grill provided a wonderful meal and Nothing Bundt Cakes donated delicious treats. It was a special time for the Warner Family to catch up with families from 16 years of Disney trips!
