“I want to raise funds for the children cancer patients in the Mainland with my own handmade bracelets.”
Pansy, 16, Brain tumor
When diagnosed with cancer at the age of 16, Pansy knew that her life would never be the same again. She is a grateful kid. She feels blessed for being treated in Hong Kong, where the hospitalization system is relatively well developed. At the same time, she could not stop herself from worrying for the less fortunate cancer patients in other developing countries.
“I want to raise funds for the children cancer patients in the Mainland with my own handmade bracelets.” We were all touched by the kindness of Pansy, who kept thinking of others with similar medical conditions along her road to recovery. Yet with the only pair of her little hands, how long would it take to have her wish come true? Luckily, we met the volunteers of CLP Power Hong Kong Limited (CLPV). They came on board immediately after hearing Pansy’s “To-Give” wish.
The first to roll up the sleeves was Mr Paul Poon, Managing Director of CLP. A bracelet workshop was then held on a Saturday morning with amber and red rain signals. Over 100 CLPV together with their family members convened to make bracelets. Ms Quince Chong, Chief Corporate Development Officer of CLP, also gave a boost to the weaving cause. And so, more than 400 bracelets were done in that rainy morning!
Pansy subsequently toured around a few CLP office premises to present her wish story and talked about the bracelet project. Everyone was inspired and the bracelets were sold out in a flash!
We were overjoyed to learn that the raised amount was higher than our expectation. Yet it was even more encouraging to see the positive changes of Pansy. The young lady was taking the lead throughout the process. Her growth from a timid little girl to a joyful and bold young lady was definitely powered by her wish-come-true experience.
Pansy’s wish was realized, but her transformation has yet to begin.
A little girl with a big heart using her skillful hands weaves care and motivates so many people to join her wish journey with the aim to benefit young cancer patients in the Mainland. We believe Pansy’s love will radiate positive energy to society.
