Nikolasz and Hajni were excitedly looking forward to their trip to Paris. They had never travelled by plane before, so the flight itself was already an exciting experience for them.

During our walks, we visited many landmarks, famous buildings, and popular city districts. Because of the limited time, however, we were only able to spend longer at the Eiffel Tower, and we also had the chance to explore the inside of Notre-Dame Cathedral in more detail.

From the very top of the Eiffel Tower, a breathtaking view welcomed us. The cold, not quite spring-like wind cleared the air above the city, and we could have spent hours gazing at the grey rooftops, the famous buildings rising above them, the vast green parks, the Seine cutting through the city with boats moving along it, and the cars speeding along the avenues, which looked more like toy cars from that height. It felt as though we were looking at a huge model city in all its tiny details.

We were also able to admire Notre-Dame Cathedral from the inside after its many years of closure due to restoration works. Awe-inspiring heights, arches, rose windows, frescoes, and statues made the sight almost impossible to take in fully. We hope the flowing crowd disturbed the religious ceremony taking place at the time only minimally. Perhaps the locals have already made peace with the endless stream of tourists.

During our city walks, we tried to pass by the main landmarks and attractions, including the Sacré-Cœur Basilica, Montmartre, Pigalle, Notre-Dame Cathedral, the Latin Quarter, the Arc de Triomphe, the Champs-Élysées, Trocadéro, Place de la Concorde, the Tuileries Garden, and the imposing Louvre building with its pyramids.

Next to the Bastille monument, we were also able to get a taste of the lively atmosphere of a weekend market, with a selection of goods very different from what we are used to, a unique ambiance and scenery, and colorful, loud, yet direct and friendly vendors everywhere we turned.

Despite the tiring walks, Nikolasz and Hajni gathered wonderful experiences, were able to experience the vibrant character of Paris, and will keep unforgettable memories in their hearts.

We would like to thank our supporters, OTP Bank Nyrt., Corinthia Budapest, GAL SynergyTech Zrt., Balance Kft., Vígszínház, IBIS Styles Budapest Airport and our private donors, whose help allowed us to provide more seriously ill children with lifelong experiences.

Jázmin wanted to meet Caleb McLaughlin, one of the actors from the Netflix series Stranger Things, during the event weekend held at the Paris Nord Villepinte Exhibition Centre in the northern suburbs of Paris.

Jázmin was eagerly looking forward to the day of departure, mainly because she had been dreaming of this personal meeting for a long time. At the same time, she had never flown on an airplane before, which made the preparations even more exciting.
The event offered a wide range of programs for fans of the series, giving them the chance to revisit fond memories and stories connected to the show and, most importantly, to meet its famous cast members.

Jázmin spent the entire Sunday at the event venue. She attended a panel discussion with the actor, where her favorite star answered questions from some of the audience’s most devoted fans.

Later, during another workshop, Jázmin had the opportunity to take a photo with Caleb and present him with two beautiful paintings that she had made for him herself. We hope that Caleb McLaughlin has cherished these two wonderfully made artworks ever since!

At the end of the day, the actor also took time to sign the various memorabilia purchased by fans, including Jázmin’s carefully treasured keepsake.

The whole day was an extraordinary experience for Jázmin, and she was overjoyed to be part of this event.
During the weekend stay in Paris, there was also time for a bit of sightseeing and visiting several well known landmarks, adding even more lasting memories to the trip. Still, nothing could surpass her personal meeting with her favorite actor, Caleb McLaughlin. On the day of departure, Jázmin also managed to get a series themed baseball cap, further expanding her cherished collection of memorabilia.

We would like to thank our supporters, OTP Bank Nyrt, Ayvens Magyarország, Ferrari Budapest, Deutsche Telekom TSI Hungary Kft., and Vígszínház, whose help made it possible for us to make Jázmin’s dream come true.
