If I had really big money, I would set up a "Neverland" foundation. I'm talkin' Bill Gates, Warren Buffett kind of money! Young folks (anyone under thirty?) could apply for a grant. They would have to qualify for (or answer to) any of the following:
If they've never experienced it...I would try to make it happen. I know it would be a much better world if all the young folks could say..."yes...I've done/experienced that"!
Sure there are many more "nevers" I could add to my "Neverland" list...but this is good enough for now!
- never been ankle deep in the ocean...yes OCEAN!
- never been on a plane
- never been out of the country...much less their home state
- never known or had a friend of another race/religion or sexual orientation
- never been to a "play" or a Broadway show
- never knew their Dad
- never felt loved!

I consider myself to be very fortunate because I've had very few "nevers"...but I could write a book on those "nevers" that I've had! Guess I need to start that infamous "bucket list"!
