Getting Goofy - More than 50 children and sponsors from New Mexico Christian's Children home were treated to a trip to Disneyland by a benefactor who wanted the kids to have the trip of a lifetime, officials at the home said.

They come from some of the saddest environments imaginable.

This summer, though, these children — victims of abuse, neglect, poverty and other worries that took them from their homes — got to spend time at one of the happiest places on earth.

More than 50 children and sponsors from the New Mexico Christian Children’s Home in Portales were treated to a trip to Disneyland, thanks to a benefactor who wanted the children to have positive, happy memories to help replace the dark times they had experienced so far in life.

“It’s one of the greatest things that has ever happened to us,” said Rod Self, assistant director at the children’s home, and a staff member since 1976.
