Two children sit indoors; one wears a headset and suit at a microphone, and the other, dreaming of Dimitra's wish to have a new room, wears a purple princess dress and crown, holding a doll and bottle. Both have blue star name tags.

Fatima, a cheerful 12-year-old, has been living with congenital lipodystrophy, a rare condition that makes daily life more challenging than for most children her age. Despite her health struggles, Fatima’s spirit has always shone bright, full of ambition and hope for the future. And what she hoped for the most, was to become a YouTuber. Which was why she wished to have her very own laptop to use for her YouTube channel.
When her wish was granted, it was a day filled with cakes, balloons and friends and family, all there to celebrate Fatima. And when the best moment arrived, Fatima was called forward, her eyes sparkling with anticipation. She beamed as she excitedly unwrapped her brand-new laptop.
Fatima’s family expressed heartfelt gratitude to everyone who made this milestone possible, for giving Fatima a moment of happiness that she will always cherish.
