Graham’s wish was to take his family to Australia Zoo
A big family Wish for Graham.
His 6 kids, their partners, Graham’s wife Sandi and parents Robert and Vivienne, joined Graham on a special day at Australia Zoo.
The anticipation was growing for years for a family trip to Australia Zoo, but as always other things got in the way. On this day though, Ambulance Wish was able to make the dream trip a reality.
“Australia Zoo has always been on our family to do list but never got there and when everything went pear shaped with Grahams health it seemed like something that would only been a dream not a reality.”
The family explored the zoo with joy. Graham, in particular, loved the opportunity to feed the giraffes and watch on as the meerkats zoomed around their enclosure.
On a day that was meant to encompass heavy rain, Sandi bought ponchos and dry socks for everyone just in case. But as luck would have it, the day turned out to be clear with no rain at all!
Despite the initial uncertainty of the weather, the day at the zoo exceeded everyone’s expectations and left Graham and his family with memories to last forever.
Thank you to our wonderful wish team Richard and Bradley for fulfilling this last wish and Annie from Adoreyouphotography for creating memories forever for his loved ones.
