Jaime’s Horse Gives Her Hope
A girl in love with horses, Jaime wished for a horse of her own. A strong, beautiful companion to stand by her side during and after her medical struggle. Now 11, Jaime and her family visit the Oregon State Fair. Make-A-Wish volunteers have a surprise for her. The band plays When You Wish Upon A Star and a beautiful Morgan-breed horse named Jetta appears – Jaime’s wish come true. Speechless and excited, a wave of motivation fills her. Through the next phases of chemotherapy Jaime is calm because she will see Jetta soon after learning to care for and ride her. The thought of a wish gave her hope, but receiving it gives Jaime the strength she needs to overcome.
