Alaiha Vanjara, 13, a student of Mahim's Bombay Scottish had saved up Rs 10,000 from her pocket money to paint her room in a Varun Dhawan (her favourite actor) theme. But she let that dream go, when she heard of the plight of a two-year-old who lived not very far from her home. In September Alaiha, resident of a high-rise at Napean Sea Road, heard from her mother that Veer Pawar, who lives in a slum nearby, was suffering from lung cancer and his family needed to raise nearly Rs 4 lakh urgently for his treatment.
