POCATELLO - A young girl in Pocatello is loving life after she received a hunting rifle and gear from very generous donors in the Gate City.
12-year-old Chantelly Westmoreland is from Challis and had a kidney transplant in June after waiting the last seven years for a new one. She has been working with the Make-A-Wish Foundation and one of her wishes was to get a new rifle to go hunting with her grandfather.
The Make-A-Wish foundation’s policy is not to give out fire arms but they have helped her by giving her a $2,400 shopping trip in August.
So the department of Fish and Game along with an anonymous donor from Bancroft, ISU Credit Union, Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation and the Snake River Firearms Instructors came together to grant Chantelly’s wish.

Chantelly got a new rifle, ammo and other hunting gear. She plans to go hunting with her grandfather near Challis Hot Springs next month.
