Virtual Waffles & Wishes

Did you catch the livestream from Virtual Waffles & Wishes on May 4?
Check out the interview with WQLN’s Traci Teudhope, including the moment Avery realized her wish to have a mobile pet food pantry was coming true:

Now that Avery has her mobile pet food pantry, she plans to go out into her local community to provide access to resources like food and treats for animals who need it. Partnering with her local shelter and food banks, Avery hopes to meet people and pets where they are.
“I’ve just seen that so many animals need second chances.” said Avery. “A lot of people don’t have enough money to feed their animals and the animals don’t get the care they need, so I figured I would help as many animals as I can with my mobile pet food pantry.”
While Avery still has more rounds of radiation to endure, now she has her wish to help her fight through each treatment… because on the other side of each treatment, her wish is waiting for her – giving her the resilience to face the future without fear and the freedom to focus on her passion.
