Zoo Hannover says a fond farewell as a previous animal caretaker makes their final exit

In a touching display of kindness and compassion, the ASB-Wünschewagen Niedersachsen, a part of the Arbeiter-Samariter-Bund (ASB), recently granted a special wish to Saskia, a former zoo keeper battling cancer.

Saskia's heartfelt desire was to spend one last holiday by the North Sea and touch the mudflats, but the ASB-Wünschewagen Niedersachsen had another surprise in store for her. They arranged for her to visit the Hannover Zoo, a place that holds a special place in her heart.

Despite her health condition and the pain she experiences, Saskia's determination to visit the Hannover Zoo was unwavering. She was transported to the zoo on a stretcher, wrapped in a starry blanket, and greeted by the warm smiles of Sister Barbara, Holger, Steffi, and Daniel.

The visit brought Saskia immense joy and a sense of gratitude. She spent a significant amount of time watching her beloved gorillas and lions, her eyes sparkling with happiness. The Hannover Zoo staff, moved by Saskia's story, went out of their way to make her day special.

The ASB-Wünschewagen Niedersachsen, staffed by volunteer paramedics, safely transported Saskia to the zoo, providing her with medical and emotional care during this memorable day.

News of Saskia's special day at the Hannover Zoo has touched the hearts of many. On Facebook, one user expressed their gratitude for the work of the ASB-Wünschewagen Niedersachsen, while another praised them for their good-hearted work in fulfilling last wishes.

If you know someone whose last wish could be fulfilled by the ASB-Wünschewagen Niedersachsen, an online wish request form is available on their website. For more information about donations or submitting a wish request, please visit the official ASB-Wünschewagen Niedersachsen website.

The ASB-Wünschewagen Niedersachsen continues to make a difference in the lives of seriously ill individuals, granting their last wishes and bringing joy and gratitude in their final moments.

Through the ASB-Wünschewagen Niedersachsen's touch of compassion, Saskia, a former zoo keeper, was granted a visit to her beloved Hannover Zoo, a respite from her cancer battle. Embracing a sustainable living philosophy, the ASB-Wünschewagen Niedersachsen also offered a home-and-garden makeover for Saskia upon her return, aiming to improve her lifestyle in the remaining time she has.
