Dad who couldn’t afford trip to Disneyland does the sweetest thing

What childhood memories are made of.

When dad Victor Peoro couldn’t afford to bring his little girl on that much-desired Disneyland trip he had to think of the next best thing – or perhaps it was even better.

His little girl Autumn soon found herself on a thrilling homemade rollercoaster invented by dad. Victor from Pennsylvania posted a YouTube video showing the 2-year-old having the absolute craic in a bucket (which all arms and legs fitted into just perfectly) while watching the direction of the rollercoaster on TV.

It’s clear the little tot loved every minute will the big smile she sported the entire way through the virtual ride and all that can be heard it nonstop giggles.

A GoFundMe page set up for the family raised enough money to send them on a trip of a lifetime to Disneyland in just two days. Dad Victor said,

“Our goal has been reached, and I am putting the donations in a special account for a future trip. I am also disabling any future donations. I appreciate the offers and extensions of help but want to make clear that while a trip to Disney is somewhat a luxury, we are by no means destitute. There are many great causes and people out there who could use your help.”

Even though little Autumn will be heading off to Disneyland we’re pretty sure the memories created by dad will be the ones she cherishes most.
