Name : Vedha
Age : 6 years old (2024)
Illness : neuroblastoma
Wish : To have a Nintendo Switch
Gaming may seem like a simple hobby but for Vedha, it is an escape from the hospital walls and his difficult reality.
Before falling sick, Vedha loved going to school, being around friends and coming home to his spend time with his brother. Vedha’s mum, Win, says wherever Vedha is, the room used to be filled with laughter.
That was until a stubborn fever came around and after weeks of clinic visits with no clear answers, Vedha was admitted to the hospital where doctors confirmed diagnosis of neuroblastoma.
Although he has since completed treatments, Vedha still needs to be closely monitored for possible cancer spreading to his lungs.
Since he fell sick, Vedha longed for any games to briefly ease his pain. Now, with his new Nintendo Switch, Vedha has a constant companion no matter where he is – at the hospital or resting at home.
