Family Plus Membership to Philadelphia ZOO for Catalina
Posted Jul 31, 2017
Catalina and her younger sister have been in the care of relatives since their mother had a severe post partum stroke a year ago and remains unable to care for the girls. Catalina's mother's mobility is restricted and activities they can engage in together are therefore limited as well. Catalina is at an age where the zoo would be very exciting and stimulating. She could enjoy the experience many times with her current caregivers who could also bring mom along in her wheelchair to participate. Positive family activities will help nurture Catalina and the relationships she has with her mother and her caregivers. For this family in particular, experiences together are worth so much.
Catalina is 9 years old and lives in PA
Catalina is a resilient and bright young toddler. She has the most contagious laugh and her bright eyes and huge smile light up any room.

Katie grants the wish for Catalina! Thanks Katie.
"Hello, Catalina! I hope you enjoy going to the zoo, it's one of my favorites! In fact, when I was young, I volunteered at one of our local zoos. If you see a cheetah, that's one of the animals I got to work alongside (though at a safe distance). My family will be praying for you, your sister, and your mommy! Hugs and love from Oregon, -Devin & Katie"
