Cassandra’s adventure with animals
Six-year-old Cassandra is a bright girl that doesn't let her cystic fibrosis get her down! She is interested in everything to do with animals and wants to become a veterinarian when she grows up. So she knew exactly what she wanted her wish to be and that was to have an adventure with animals! She especially wants to hold a big scary spider!
On Cassandra’s wish day, she went with her family to the Reptilium zoo in Landau where they got an exclusive tour. Equipped with her adventure outfit from Make-A-Wish, she had the opportunity to feed raccoons and even alligators! She learned a lot about bearded dragons, turtles, snakes and of course she FINALLY got to hold a big spider in her hand. Cassandra even had a photoshoot with lots of different animals, including the spider.
You can see Cassandra's lively and funny personality come to life as she’s living her dream. Cassandra’s mum believes this amazing experience has made Cassandra a very happy and grateful little girl. This exciting and unforgettable day has lifted her spirits for a long time to come.
