A little girl used a wish from the Make-A-Wish foundation to make the lives of shelter animals at the Edmonton Humane Society a little brighter on Monday.
Sidney 12, whose family does not want her last name used, arrived at the humane society by limousine and went on a shopping spree at the society?s pets store before handing out items to shelter animals.
Sidney said she really wanted to help out the animals.
?I love them, I think it is important that animals have a nice place to stay until they find their home to,? she said.
Cathy Gabucci, CEO of the Make-A-Wish foundation said the wish, Sidney asked for was different and very special to staff.
?All wishes are unique, but this one is super unique, because it is not every day that a child wishes to give back to the community with her wish.?
Shawna Randolph with the humane society said they were eager to help out when the idea came forward.
?She is just so giving, that with her situation, she could have any wish and she is paying it forward to our homeless animals in need,? said Randolph.
Sidney said she would like to volunteer at the shelter when she is a little older.
Her mother Miaoping said Sidney needs regular medical treatment because of her condition and this was a great opportunity for her to spend time with animals she loves.
?All the nurses are so familiar they can recognize us and we can recognize them. I would say about one third of the time she is in hospital, about one third of the time she can go to school and about one-third of the time she stays at home.?
