I wish to be a princess with a red dress

Esmanur, 6, Turkey

B-cell Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (B-ALL)
A young girl in a red dress and crown sits on an ornate chair, shrugging with her palms up—perhaps pondering Dimitra's wish to have a new room. She is indoors near a window streaked with raindrops, patterned curtains, and a blue sign in the background.

Esmanur lives in Bursa and bravely fights B-cell Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia. Her biggest wish was to become a princess in a red dress and her dream came true!

Esmanur is a sweet little girl who loves dressing up, wearing jewelry and tiaras, and adores the color red. She wished to be a princess in a red dress, so as Make-A-Wish Türkiye, we visited her in Bursa and spent a magical day together like true royalty.

We went to the hairdresser, got all dressed up, put on her red gown, and had a lovely photoshoot. Then we explored beautiful spots around Bursa and made jewelry together. Seeing Esmanur’s happiness was truly an unforgettable experience!

Thank you, Esmanur, for reminding us all that a little bit of magic and hope can make dreams come true.
