In 2015, doctors told mother Nicole Wellwood that her son, Evan Leversage, would not live to see the upcoming Christmas -- the little boy's favorite holiday.

Evan's story is being adapted by Indian filmmaker Srijit Mukherji in a movie called "Uma."

A funeral is scheduled for today for Evan Leversage, a terminally-ill southern Ontario boy whose wish to see another Christmas prompted his community to stage an early Santa Claus parade.
