USSA is an organization in southern Wisconsin that does some really neat stuff all over the country. When I get a request from a terminally ill person, youth or adult, they are the first and lately the last call I need to make. About as quick as I ask, the person has a trip lined up, totally cost free. Great gal that runs the place. Since starting, she has granted over 4000 wishes to people with special needs. Basically, those with terminal illnesses get immediate help. They fill out an application with Dr. stuff, etc. just to be sure of honesty (you would be surprised what some people will try!) then things are put together quickly. Disabled children are next on the priority list and she does perfectly in granting their wishes. I've got several places that I have used for this type of thing but the last several have simply gone to USSA. Brigid, the president and founder, gets trips donated from outfitters all over the country. Here is the story of a huge bear hunt they did last fall.

I've approached you before asking for kids or terminally ill adults for this place because they've got a lot more trips than they do people to use them. Please let anyone know who could benefit! I hate the thought of someone potentially dying, wanting nothing more than a special hunt, and not knowing where to go. Brigid even takes kids who are too young in many states and teaches them firearms safety so they can get out before it is too late.
