Aashna’s wish to be a fairy

Spreading her wings

Aashna Salvi’s journey is heartwarming evidence to the tremendous impact of a wish. Currently a 12th grader pursuing physiotherapy, Aashna’s life was profoundly touched when she was was studying in the 7th grade. An encounter that would inspire and uplift her in ways she had never imagined.

Aashna was undergoing the treatment for her Pulmonary valve stenosis at The Bai Jerbai Wadia Hospital for Children. She got operated in the year 2017. It was really traumatic time for her family. She being the single child in the family, was adored by the entire extended family and relatives. Her entire family was there in the hospital when she was admitted.   

When Aashna, embarked on her wish journey, she was young and didn’t fully grasp the depth of the opportunity before her. Enthralled by the enchanting world of fairies and captivated by the idea of modelling, Ashna wished for a fairy dress. Her wish was further designed by her, she shared that her favourite colour was white and whenever she buys clothes and shoes, she prefers white.

The fairy dress wish was an extraordinary experience for Aashna, one she had never encountered before. To her delight, on the day the wish was fulfilled, day she had the chance to model her fairy dress. She was overjoyed, revelling in the magic of the moment and the realization of a dream she had long cherished.

For Aashna, modelling in a fairy dress was not just a wish fulfilled but a dream come true. The joy and confidence she felt during that wish fulfilled day were immeasurable. It was a moment of pure happiness, a rare gift during her medical struggles. The fulfilment of her wish instilled in her a newfound motivation and a belief in the power of dreams.

Aashna’s life extended far beyond that magical day. The happiness and hope Make-A-Wish India brought into her life played a significant role in her overall well-being and outlook on life. Aashna’s health is now stable, and she credits much of her positivity and resilience to the hope and joy which he got after the wish fulfilment.

Today, Aashna is flourishing as she pursues a career in physiotherapy. The experience taught her that dreams do come true, no matter the circumstances. It empowered her to believe in herself and never give up, no matter how challenging life may seem.

Aashna’s journey from a young girl with a wish to a thriving young adult is a testament to the profound impact which can have on a child’s life. Aashna’s story is a shining example of how the wish can inspire children to overcome their challenges and pursue their dreams with unwavering determination. She shared it bringing light and happiness to countless children like Aashna.
