Give a child a companion
Imagine a furry best friend to be by your side through thick and thin, making your days brighter and your heart fuller. So many wish children adore their favourite animal. The excitement, fascination and anticipation of meeting these animals brings so much joy.
It's a special kind of friendship that's pure, joyful, and full of tail-wagging happiness, that so many critically ill kids wish for.
Give the gift of shared joy, playfulness, unconditional love and companionship to the 22 wish children waiting to meet their furry friends in 2024.
As Rani is a non-verbal and a non-mobile 4-year-old we based Rani’s wish on everything she loves. Rani loves animals from their touch to their smell and just the unspoken bond and gentleness a child with a disability has with animals. It’s truly beautiful.
