Julie was excited to find out she would have her wish granted. She already knows what she wants to be when she grows up- a veterinarian, so her wish was easily decided- to be an employee at the San Diego Zoo for a day! She was most looking forward to meeting the zoo’s albino wallaby, Everest, so when the zookeepers took her behind-the-scenes to meet and feed Everest she was filled with joy. She was also able to enjoy a personal experience feeding and petting many other types of animals and even got to swim with playful young otters. Julie’s mom, Michelle, said of the experience, “It was truly a trip of a lifetime- we are so appreciative of everything everyone did to make it a special experience. There is still much anxiety [about her health condition] and just because you are in remission doesn’t mean the journey is over. But much like that, just because the wish is granted, doesn't mean the impact is either."
