Rylee's Inspirational Wish











This wish was an incredibly special experience for Rylee. Make-A-Wish flew Rylee's best friend Millie up to Auckland from Wellington, so she could go with Rylee on the shopping spree. It was the perfect girl's day, and a way to say thank you to Millie, who had been an integral support to Rylee during her medical journey.
Rylee was also accompanied by stylist Sarah Stuart on her shopping spree. Sarah helped Rylee pick out some amazing pieces for her photoshoot!
On her photoshoot day, Rylee felt like an absolute star. She had her hair and make-up done by Justine Conroy, and the beautiful photos were taken by Chris Turner.
Rylee explains why this wish was so important to her. "Just because you have had an amputation doesn’t mean that you can’t do anything. There are so many resources out there that you can try, and I think just to show that you shouldn’t give up on your self just even though you have had something horrific happen to you.”
Rylee's mum Amanda has been blown away by the generosity of everyone who has got on board. “It is incredibly humbling. And to see your daughter laugh and giggle and have such a great time. That wouldn't ever been possible without the amazing team at Make-A-Wish.”
