What a sweet tribute. I will definitely be making a contribution to the Wildlife Fund in Stefanies name in September. Perhaps if enough of us do they will name an animal after her.
Jennifer, thank you so much for this wonderful tribute to a very special person. I will be making a donation in her honor when we are in WDW the end of May.

Many trips to WDW, too many to list. Hopefully going back in June 2011!
The way everyone has come together for someone that most of us, including myself, have never met is one of the reason I am proud to be a member of this online family. I plan on making a donation when we go to Disney in August. My daughte told me tonight that when we go, she wants to send a balloon to Stefanie in heaven.
I am mailing a check to the Disney Conservation Fund to donate in Stefanie's name. Thank you for a beautiful post and allowing everyone to make a tribute to a wonderful person.
Thanks for posting this today, Jennifer. How wonderful, that even in death, Stefanie continues to make such an impact. I'm sure both charities will be blown away by the response volume.

I am so touched by the outpouring of compassion, love, and even grief that have been given in response to Stefanie's death. If anyone had ever asked me if I'd be crying for a young woman I'd never met, I'd have looked at them askance!
Maybe if when we all make donations, we do it in check form and include a letter about WHY we're sending the money, we can get the attention of someone in the "home office' of both Special Olympics and DWF.

That's what I was just thinking. As I sit and read these posts, I continue to be amazed that a person who many of us never met has touched us so deeply. Cam and her family have been on my mind everyday and I've been moved to hug my family a little tighter and let them know how much I love them. Such a special person can never be forgotten. I hope Cam and Luke can find a little comfort in the fact that their little girl touched so many lives just by being her sweet self. May we all learn to live each day to the fullest as their family obviously did! Continued prayers.

Jennifer, What a lovely tribute!! I, like many others, never got to meet Stephanie in person, but I feel like I've known her for a long time. I never imagined I would cry so much for someone I didn't know. My heart aches for Cam & Luke, they are truly an amazing family. I will donate in memory of Stephanie in November when we are there. RIP Stephanie, you'll always be remembered.
Thank you Jennifer, for this post. When I told DH (ChukkerB) about Stephanie's passing, his first words were "Can we send something? What can we do for them?" I am so glad to know where we can donate. And Disney Wildlife Conservation Fund is one of our favorites too! We will definitely be contributing in her honor.
I also have to echo the sentiments that this community is wonderful! All of the outpouring of concern and caring is tremendous!
I'm in tears just finding this now. She touched our lives in more ways than one can imagine. We will make a donation to the Special Olympics in her honor.
