Our volunteers came across with a 12 years old young and active boy
suffering from Chronic Kidney Disease at Vani Vilas Children hospital. He lives
with his parents and a younger brother in one remote village of Magadi Taluk.
Make A Wish Volunteers met this kid when he was undergoing dialysis,
they gave him a story book of Bhagat Singh and started talking with him about
his interests and hobbies. He told them that he is akin to Play cricket,
badminton and Kho-kho. He got Regional level kabaddi match shield by won the
Regional level Kabaddi match. He liked the movie “Shri Manjunatha” and he
watched 6 times and having faith in the god. Whenever he feels
depressed and he was in pain because of the dialysis, he will just pray this
god. When our volunteers started interacting with him about his wish, he said
that his innermost wish to do Darshan of Shri Kshetra Manjunatha Swamy at
Dharmasthala. But because of his treatment
expenses, his parents were not able to take him to that place.
So, on the special day of 28th Jan 2013, our volunteers
planned for fulfilling his travel wish. He didn’t knew about where he is going,
and they reached Dharmasthala on 29th morning where there is no end
for his happiness. From their first they visited Nethravathi river to take
Sacred Bath(Punya Snana). He took bath in the river and feed the fishes with
food items. Then they reached the temple and got direct entry to do Darshan of
his favorite god Shri Manjunatha Swamy. And then all of them had prasdam and
lunch in the temple itself. In addition to this, they had been to see
Gommateshwar on the top of the hill and took beautiful snap with his family
members.
At the end of the sightseeing again they pray the god and get into
the bus. And his parents expressed that we have never seen our son, with this
much of happiness in his face since a long time. They thanked all our
volunteers and said that they prayed with god for our volunteers to give
strength for fulfilling many more kids wishes in future.
