Sweet 13-year-old Anushik is our Wednesday Hero.

This quiet, gentle girl dreams of having her own telescope.

Behind her beautiful smile is a long and challenging journey of cancer treatment.

Anushik loves reading fairy tales — Cinderella and Sleeping Beauty are two of her favourites.

When she’s at home, she enjoys drawing with her grandmother. She’s fascinated by nature and all its wonders.

Her dream of owning a telescope is all about exploring one of nature’s greatest miracles — the starry night sky — and letting herself dream even bigger.

Anushik has a younger sister. It makes her sad that they have to be apart, but she believes with all her heart that she’ll get better — and one day, the two of them will gaze at the universe together.
