Young Wonder Woman Sends Heartwarming Video Message To Fan With Rare Condition

Aspell's message comes not long after her adult counterpart, Wonder Woman 1984 star Gal Gadot, expressed support for Chillery-Watson's fundraising effort on social media. Gadot, who once called playing the superhero her dream role, got wind of Chillery-Watson's challenge after news of it was posted to Twitter.

"My real wonder girl!" Gadot tweeted on September 9. "Wow, this video blew my mind. You're a true hero. So inspiring and strong. I hope one day we get to meet each other. Until then I'm sending you lots of love and a big big hug!!!"

Since launching her fundraising campaign through JustGiving, Chillery-Watson has raised over $13,000 USD (£10,800). Almost $4,400 was donated by the Wonder Woman and Justice League actress just hours after posting her support on Twitter. That's near twice the original campaign goal of £6,000 — or $7,646 USD — set by the Chillary-Watson family.

Amid the current global health crisis, many charities have seen donations dip as individuals direct funds towards initiatives and efforts addressing the pandemic. "It has been wonderful to receive this support from the Wonder Woman cast during Chillery-Watson's challenge," Woodhead said in a statement.

With just a few days left of the fundraiser, Wonder Woman fans won't have to wait long to see the final donation of Carmela Chillery-Watson's month-long campaign, but they will have to wait December 25 to see Wonder Woman 1984 in theaters.
