– Ka-yi, 8, Acute Leukemia

The incredible Wish Journey filled her with hope and courage to conquer any obstacles.

It is not surprising that an energetic girl like Ka-yi is charmed by artiste Cholam Wong and his vigorous onscreen presence. “He (Cholam) is very funny. I can’t help laughing when I watch his TV shows and all the sadness will be gone.” Ka-yi is still undergoing therapy for leukemia, and even a girl as lively as her feels the burden of loneliness and pain that comes with treatment. However, watching Cholam’s performances gives her relief and joy, and her strength to fight again. Ka-yi’s dearest wish of meeting Cholam will boost her spirit.

Cholam agreed to visit his little fan without hesitation and went along with a big surprise. It was just another day for Ka-yi until she heard a knock on the door. She froze the moment she recognized the unexpected guest! Only at her mother’s reminder did Ka-yi manage to greet her longtime hero. Cholam gave her a generous hug and plenty of encouraging words before they got chatting and exchanged some drawings with each other. Ka-yi only recovered after Cholam left, “My legs went so numb! I never thought I would actually meet him!” Every moment of this meeting felt magical for Ka-yi. The incredible Wish Journey filled her with hope and courage to conquer any obstacles.
