Ayra’s wish

Ayra’s nightmare began during what should have been a joyful family trip. When she and her family contracted Influenza A, everyone recovered within days, but not Ayra. Her condition showed no improvement, leaving her parents deeply worried. A series of tests, including blood work and a bone marrow extraction, revealed that Ayra had B Cell acute lymphoblastic leukaemia.

As treatment took its toll, slowly draining the vibrancy from her life and dimming her once radiant spirit, Ayra wished for a bedroom makeover— replacing the plain white walls with a colourful hub that reflects her bright personality and her love for all things creative.

However, with the burden and steep cost of her medical treatment, Ayra’s dream bedroom had to be put on hold indefinitely…….until she met Make-A-Wish Malaysia!

Thanks to the incredible efforts of our dedicated volunteers who planned, painted, purchased furniture and decorated her room, Ayra’s bedroom now glows with bright yellow walls and furniture adorned with pink hearts. Her space is now a vibrant sanctuary, her safe haven— a place she can return home from hospital visits to dream of growing up and attending school soon.

We are honoured to see the Power of a Wish through Ayra’s eyes as she jumped with excitement upon entering this new safe space she calls her own.
