Angel’s wish ‘to have a VIP experience at The Shard London’ was “time out from thinking about her disabilities” and the chance to feel special. It was inspired by the view she admired while having hospital treatment and was “just the best thing ever!”
Angel’s wish became possible on 9th May when she, her mother Holly, and her younger sister Mikayla had a 2-night stay at Shangri La The Shard, London. The Shangri-La Suite was decorated with balloons, flowers, and edible decorations. The family were told to ‘go mad’ on room service, with the chef even arranging a special selection of Angel’s favourite food and drink.
During her stay at the Shangri-La The Shard in London, Angel could admire the views up in the clouds, swap a hospital bed for a giant one!
‘Angel’s wish gave her time out from thinking about her disabilities, her daily pains, her upcoming hospital appointments,’ said Angel’s mother. ‘It allowed her to enjoy the time being a teenager, living out her dream in a very special place. It’s a once in a lifetime thing and it will be a memory she will cherish forever. We all will.’
