Dominic's wish

Dominic, with his gorgeous big eyes, is six and was born with ‘cerebral palsy’, he has other associated problems and was more recently diagnosed with epilepsy.

It is a really difficult situation and knowing what was his best wish of several to choose proved a task for the family.

Eventually they came up with a family holiday where they could all spend time with Dominic.

Wish Upon A Dream came up with a private, beautiful villa in Portugal and added to this a trip for Dominic to spend time with the dolphins at Zoo Marina enjoying one to one time. He thoroughly enjoyed the contact with these wonderful creatures and Dominic, mum and dad and siblings came back refreshed and happy having been able to spend such intense quality time together.

Dominic was nominated by one of paediatric nurses, Sue, who said “Dom in a little ray of sunshine and always a joy to care for and support”.

Having met him and spent time with him, Lesley Turnbull could not agree more.

Sadly, Dominic lost his fight for life after his wish, leaving a void in his family's world which can never be filled.

Wish Upon A Dream is very proud to be able to grant wishes for such brave children.
