==History==
Give Kids The World was founded by Henri Landwirth, a Belgian Holocaust survivor who spent 5 years in the Auschwitz and Matthausen concentration camps. Landwirth immigrated to the United States, where he studied hotel management. While operating a hotel in the Orlando area, he became passionate about helping sick children fulfill their dream of a family vacation. Landwirth took to providing hotel accommodations for families of children with life-threatening illnesses who wanted to visit Walt Disney World and other nearby attractions and theme parks.〔 After a incident in which two sick children had died because hotel rooms were not available in time for them to stay in Orlando, Landwirth had an interest in creating a facility where travel arrangements could be made quickly with no waiting list and which would not turn away any child.〔
