Ahmedabad: An 11-year-old girl, Flora Asodia, suffering from a brain tumour, was made collector for a day on Saturday in Ahmedabad as she had always dreamt of becoming a Collector.

"Flora belongs to Gandhinagar and suffering from a brain tumour. Last month, she underwent surgery and her condition deteriorated. We received a message from Make-A-Wish Foundation that the girl wants to become a collector," Ahmedabad Collector, Sandip Sangle told ANI.

After receiving the request, the collector said that he contacted the girl`s family and requested them to fulfil her dream. 

"We requested Flora`s parents to make her collector for a day but they were reluctant because her condition deteriorated after the surgery but finally we succeeded to persuade them," he added.

In addition, the collector has also celebrated her birthday on September 25, the same day.

While showering his blessings on her, he said, "I wish she gets well soon and works hard to fulfil her dream. I also thank everyone who helped in fulfilling her dream today."
