Dublin Zoo Wish for Patrick
14 year old Patrick who suffers with severe scoliosis and kyhphosis.
Patrick lives in County Fermanagh, Northern Ireland with mum Wendy. His wish was to visit Dublin Zoo and KIN arranged this for 5th July.
The following comment is from his mum together with pictures.
Dear Linda and all at Kids in Need
Just a few lines to thank you all for our overnight treat to Dublin zoo..the whole experience was just wonderful, Patrick was treated like royalty from start to finish...the hotel was amazing, the day of the zoo was perfect and may I say a little too warm, because of the heat the big animals were sleeping. Patrick thought this was funny, he got up close to the sea lions which was the highlight of the day he just loved them,the whole trip was brilliant from start to finish. Patrick slept in this morning as he was just shattered. I brought him a cuddly sloth with his spending money, we cant thank you enough.
Please find attached a few pictures from the day,
Much love
Wendy & Patrick.
