MIAMI – Allison Farely flew into Miami on Monday from Texas to receive her ‘wish’ which was granted by the Make-A-Wish Foundation.
She got a VIP tour of Zoo Miami.
Farely was diagnosed with a brain tumor when she was 13 years old. Now 17, and many doctor appointments and surgeries later, she’s recovering.
The trip was supposed to happen during the pandemic, but was put on hold. Farely told CBS4 she was grateful for the opportunity and loves animals.
“When you have a young adult like Allison who has faced so many life-challenging things, to see her light up and see her forget about all those things in just a few minutes here, that’s the greatest job we have,” said Zoo Miami’s Ron Magill.
Farely said she wants to go into nursing to help others who experienced a similar situation.
