I Wish to Have a Camera
Wageesha’s Wish to Capture the World Through His Lens
Wageesha , 15
Leukemia
Fifteen-year-old Wageesha has always seen the world through wonder. Even during his hardest days battling B-cell Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (B-ALL), his imagination stayed strong — dreaming of one thing:
To become a photographer.
Wageesha wished for a camera and a chance to learn photography basics.
He imagined capturing nature , his family , and the little details many overlook — each photo a piece of hope, told through his eyes.
During his hospital stay, all he talked about was his wish.
His excitement kept him going — motivating him to complete treatment and return to Suwa Arana, counting down the days until his wish would come true.
Thanks to the generosity of Camera.lk and the Make-A-Wish team, his wish was granted!
He received a professional camera and a personal photography session with a kind mentor who sparked his creativity.
This wish gave Wageesha more than a camera —
It gave him purpose, confidence, and the belief that his dreams matter.
💬 “When I look through my camera, I feel like I can see a future full of beautiful things. This wish has made me believe that anything is possible.”
Thanks to your support, Wageesha’s world is now filled with color, focus, and hope — one photo at a time.
Help more wishes like Wageesha’s come true.
