Having Hope

Sometimes a name says a million words, and this turtle is the story of her name. In humans, the condition is known to be life threatening, and survival can be a real struggle. Therefore, such a frail turtle was never expected to live very long. However, the turtle, which was aptly named “Hope,” has been living on despite the odds being against here. There’s not much information surrounding the reason for her name, but she is a beacon of hope for all who feel as if survival is not an option.

Hope is currently owned and cared for by Michael Aquilina, who is a New Jersey Resident. He is known as Aquamike23 on Instagram and shares snippets of his life with Hope. While he cares for the turtle and ensures that her needs are met, he has let off that he is a bit scared for her sometimes. This is because she is so small and vulnerable while he is quite a big guy. You can tell from his speech that he deeply cares for her.
