Aparna, a dedicated volunteer with Make-A-Wish India for 14 years, found her calling through a deeply personal experience. Her cousin, who battled blood cancer, endured immense suffering alongside his family. His greatest wish was to meet Amitabh Bachchan, and when Make-A-Wish India fulfilled this desire, it transformed his remaining days. Though he lived only six months after meeting the iconic actor, Aparna recalls how those months felt like years of happiness and optimism. This profound change in her cousin’s outlook inspired Aparna to believe in the life-changing power of wish fulfillment. Realizing that there are many other children suffering from serious illnesses, Aparna became motivated to spread the joy and hope that comes with fulfilling a child’s wish. She saw firsthand how a single wish could ignite a spark of strength and positivity, offering a child the will to fight and cherish life. This experience gave her the strength and determination to continue transforming lives through Make-A-Wish. Aparna’s relentless dedication over the years has brought smiles and renewed hope to countless children. Her story is a testament to the incredible impact of fulfilling a wish, not only for the children but also for their families exemplifying the lasting impact of Make-A-Wish India and serving as an inspiration for others to join and contribute to this heartwarming cause.
