NBC7 caught up with Make-a-Wish recipient, 12-year-old Avila Gachalian who is in remission from leukemia. She was diagnosed in 2019 and received her wish of a home music studio during the pandemic.
Avila credits music with getting her through a cancer relapse in 2022. She battled through two more years of chemotherapy and had her last treatment in December. Now she’s cancer-free and has her own original song about facing fear.
