I like nature and I love water. I love the beach but wanted to see a river and a waterfall in real life.
My wish meant a lot to me. I got to go on an airplane and I got to see the waterfalls. They were more beautiful than I expected. I also got to see and meet people who are not Barbadian in their home country. The hikes up to the waterfalls were a lot of fun.
My favorite moment was when we were going up to Victoria Falls. We had to cross the river about four times. One time we had to jump over a patch of mud. It looked slimy and yucky and I was saying to myself don’t fall in! When I tried to jump over I slipped and fell into the mud! I was just as yucky as it looked. The tour guide helped me up and I went ahead. Then I heard some squealing behind me; Auntie Adorial had fallen into the mud too! We laughed at each other but washing off in the river was cool.
I am very happy! I got to see three waterfalls all different. I got to see hot springs trees and plants that do not grow in Barbados and to meet a Carib. Most of all I got to forget that I have a medical problem. Everyone I met was loving and kind and made me feel special. Especially Auntie Adorial.
Mrs. Maxwell-Hazell called us after she heard about me from a parent of another wish child.
I would tell people to support them. They are nice people and very kind and loving. They made me feel special and because of them, I was treated like a princess for a short time. For a week it was not about injections but hiking and waterfalls, bathing in the river, Emerald Pool and Screw Spa. I will ask people to make a donation, it may make a sick child happier than you can imagine.
