They wanted to do something special for our family, so they ended up purchasing tickets for us to go see the Broadway play, Beauty and the Beast, at the Cadillac Palace Theatre downtown Chicago, followed by dinner at the Rainforest Café. They also bought beautiful costumes for the kids to wear to the show, hired a limo driver (to drive our car so that we could accommodate Ella's power wheelchair), and gave us some extra spending money for the kids to buy souvenirs.
We cannot even begin to express our gratitude to the prayer line members for this truly magical day! Our entire family had such a wonderful time!! I even cried at the end of the show...Beauty and the Beast was my absolute favorite Disney movie as a child :)
The only thing that the prayer line members asked for in return was that we take lots of pictures to share...no problem!!!!
Thank you, dear prayer line members!!! We love you so much!!
