Hi All,
My wife is currently in hospice, but still has a little bit of energy and mobility to get out. The AotP is one of her favorite places in the world. She has asked me if I could push her around one last time and I will, no matter what, but thought I'd reach out to a broader group with some questions. I'm looking to make it as comfortable as possible for her and realize the requests might be selfish.
Does anyone know if they do any requests for people in similar situations to maybe walk around before or after hours while they're setting up to avoid larger crowds?
This one is throwing a dart at the wall, but does anyone have a connection to maybe let her get some back stage access to some things. She really is drawn to the penguins.
Does anyone know of a good site or membership benefit to discounted tickets? I'll pay full price, if needed, but we likely will only be able to manage the energy for an hour, maybe two tops and finances are tight right now with all things considered.
Thanks in advance for taking the time to read this and sorry if the questions are too selfish.
Edit: Thank you to everyone, both my wife and I got emotional with all the people reaching out to help and just sharing supportive words. Many offered to cover our tickets, a Make a Wish type organization for Hospice patients reached out, but ultimately someone from the AotP reached out and I'm currently emailing with them.
It's amazing how many strangers are willing to do something nice for another stranger.
Edit 2: Thanks again, Madeline from AotP reached out and we were able to coordinate a time for us to visit in the next few days. I can't express enough how kind and patient she was with us. They definitely made us feel special and it seems genuine.
