Cassandra's wish

Cassandra is a bright 6-year-old girl, living with cystic fibrosis, who wants to become a veterinarian. Her wish quickly became clear; she wanted “an adventure with animals” and added that she really wants to hold a big spider!

On her wish day, Cassandra and her family went to the Reptilium in Landau (Germany) where they got an exclusive tour. Equipped with her adventure outfit, she got to feed the raccoons and the alligators! She learned a lot about bearded dragons, turtles, snakes, and of course she FINALLY got to hold a big spider in her hand.

After the wish day, Cassandra’s mum told us: “It was simply unbelievably beautiful what the team put together for Cassandra – we will all talk about this experience for a long time!”

There are thousands more children like Cassandra who need our help. Will you help us grant their wishes faster? Donate today to help give them the carefree spirit of summer that every child deserves!
