Lakeeta, 10 years old

Wish submitted by:

Lakeeta is a sweet young lady who loves to dance and make up dance routines with her sisters. They like to entertain their grandmother, who is raising the three sisters. Lakeeta is very smart and wants to help her sisters with schoolwork when needed. She recently went to a birthday party at the skating rink, learned how to skate, and has not stopped talking about it. She likes going to the library and picking out new books to read weekly. They live in low-income housing, which isn't in a very safe area, so they are always looking for inside activities to keep them entertained.

Lakeeta has been to the Georgia Aquarium on a school field trip and didn't want to leave. She was in awe of all the beautiful and different fish and other sea creatures. One of her favorites is the turtles. She has wanted to return, but her grandmother can't afford to take her and her sisters. A family membership would allow them to have a fun and safe place to visit and learn new things about nature. Lakeeta would be so excited to know she could visit the Aquarium whenever she wanted. She says it would be the best day ever!
