- Make-A-Wish Foundation UAE teams up with Miral and ADNOC volunteers to grant Gabrielle’s heartfelt wish.
- An unforgettable day of joy, laughter, and amazing moments for Gabrielle and her family.
Make-A-Wish Foundation UAE, the non-profit organization’s UAE branch dedicated to granting the wishes of children facing critical illnesses, joined forces with Miral, Abu Dhabi’s leading creator of immersive destinations and experiences, to create an unforgettable day filled with wonder and joy for Gabrielle, making her wish come true by visiting SeaWorld® Yas Island, Abu Dhabi, the region’s first Marine Life Theme Park. Gabrielle, a brave three-year-old battling acute anemia, got to see and interact with her favorite animals in the company of her family and two ADNOC volunteers as Make-A-Wish and Miral made her dream come true.
Mr. Hani Al Zubaidi, the CEO of Make-A-Wish, said: “Gabrielle’s wish to experience the wonder of marine animals in person was fulfilled, providing her with a day of joy and togetherness with her family, away from the challenges of her medical journey. We are deeply grateful to Miral and SeaWorld Abu Dhabi for their support in making Gabrielle’s dream a reality. We also extend our heartfelt appreciation to the Hilton Double Tree hotel for hosting Gabrielle and her family with utmost care and hospitality, and we are thankful for the dedicated efforts of the ADNOC volunteers who played a vital role in creating unforgettable memories.”
Thomas Kaferle, the General Manager of SeaWorld Abu Dhabi, mentioned:”We always strive to spread joy and hope in the hearts of young and old. It was a pleasure to cooperate with ‘Make a Wish’ and the Gabriel family to visit SeaWorld Abu Dhabi and learn about marine life and the One Ocean story.”
Gabrielle’s wish-granting day was a truly heartwarming experience, as she found boundless joy and energy as she explored SeaWorld Abu Dhabi’s eight realms. For Gabrielle and her family, who have faced the challenges of her illness with incredible strength, this special day offered a much-needed respite, filling their hearts with happiness and creating treasured memories together.
Miral’s efforts as well as those of ADNOC’s two volunteers were instrumental in creating an unforgettable day for Gabrielle and her family. Their dedication and support made Gabrielle’s wish journey truly extraordinary, filled with laughter, smiles, and the hope that comes from cherished memories.
