  • Wishes & More enhances the lives of children with terminal or life-threatening illnesses by providing unforgettable experiences for them. We surprised Maddie at Wishes & More and brought her snakes to grant her wish of "wanting to hang out with reptiles for a night"! It was so rewarding to see her big smile when Doug (our boa constrictor) made a surprise appearance on stage in front of over 700 attendees/sponsors!

    Hi, I'm Karla Blomberg and proudly serve as the volunteer president of Wishes & More and I'm "the Lady" in the video who 'doesn't like snakes.' I didn't think about doing it - I just did it because I knew that Maddie would love it and she did . I knew that my minutes of discomfort would be a lasting memory for her and it was worth it. Emily, thank you, thank you and thank you again from me, from Maddie and from Wishes & More. Doug you're a superstar and thanks to everyone who has commented with such kind words. After meeting Emily and seeing her video, I'm not surprised by the number of subscribers that follow her. Snake Discovery is amazing!

Now you say I have to look for proof to refute myself and the peer reviewed studies I’ve already read that show there is a gender pay gap that goes beyond men doing more jobs with hazard pay. This is about women doing the same work being paid less.

I'm sure if I had asked for a macaw my mother would've let me, but rats were out of the question. Recently I was given the chance to get 2 and I did. Before getting them, I was depressed and wouldn't leave my room besides to use the bathroom and go to school every couple of days. My physical health and mental health was shocking, but after I got them I improved significantly. My mother fell in love with them and actively tries to convince me to get more (I currently have 5). People are scared of what they don't understand. Anyone and everyone can get over a fear, some just aren't willing to do it.

    Awwwwww!!!!! That little.girl's reaction was priceless!!! 😄 And that fairy godmother was a fairy ANGEL!! What a TROOPER!! If she didn't like.snakes, I can only assume that means she probably didn't handle them on a daily basis or EVER for that matter! She opened that basket and plunged in as if she were doing nothing scarier than....kneading Doughboy something!! My hats is off to her!! And then she played it off for several minutes and managed to mask her discomfort with humor. Not one of them wimpy contributors even attempted to help her hold the snake. So much for chivalry!! 😁 This was really heartwarming and has haD me smiling the ENTIRE video and even still as I type this comment. @Snake Discovery Good job!! God bless you both!!
