We need ₹50 lakhs to help my 6-year-old daughter battle thalassemia! 

Beneficiary Misha Bengaluru Contact Aster CMI Hospital, Bangalore

My child was diagnosed with Thalassemia Major a few months after birth and undergoes regular blood transfusions.

Her constant fatigue and weakness stem from low oxygen levels caused by insufficient hemoglobin production in her body. She has also developed complications of iron overload, which has directly affected her liver and cirrhosis, inducing severe inflammation and subsequently organ damage.

Our lives have turned upside down after our girl’s diagnosis. My husband can’t arrange INR 50,00,000.00 for treatment, it’s not a normal amount. We barely have money to survive.

Oh god! Please help my daughter. She has to live.

What happened

We were on cloud nine when our girl was born, it was the happiest day of our life.

I celebrated the fact that Goddess Lakshmi had come to our house. But it didn’t take long for our happiness to turn into utter misery.

After a few months, my daughter started having major health issues and showed signs of Thalassemia Major, like extreme fatigue, facial bone deformities, and swelling on her feet.

So, we immediately took her to a nearby local hospital where doctors told us about her critical condition, which is rare to be cured, and recommended we go to a renowned hospital.

That's when I realized the gravity of her condition.

Despite being abandoned by my in-laws, I have ensured that my daughter doesn’t miss out on the love and care she deserves from us. I refuse to abandon my daughter when she needs me the most.

So, I took her medical responsibility into my own hands and brought her to the best hospital in Jharkhand. I visited hospitals in Hazaribagh, Ranchi, and Dhanbad for her treatment.

Some doctors even said that she cannot be treated at all. I was heartbroken and mentioned the need for regular blood transfusions due to anemia.

But with my father no longer here, my younger brother without income, and my husband's meager earnings, we lack any financial means to support my daughter's treatment.

Present

Due to the anemia, Misha feels tired and frustrated throughout the day. She cries the entire day and refuses meals, becoming weaker day by day.

Her feet are always swollen, hindering her ability to walk properly. Despite her challenges, she yearns to attend school like other kids.

Bathing is a struggle, and her stomach aches persistently. When I take her out, people cast disapproving glances our way.

Facing rejection from my in-laws, I took her for blood transfusions alone. Unfortunately, multiple transfusions led to side effects like iron overload, damaging her liver.

She urgently needs a bone marrow transplant, and all necessary medical procedures will cost us INR 50,00,000.00.

My husband earns very little. Even if he worked extra hours, he could never gather such a huge amount of money.

My daughter deserves a much better and more joyful life. She deserves to see life in the most beautiful way. Don’t let me lose her. I won’t be able to live without her.

Her grandmother's health has also been affected upon learning of her granddaughter's condition. She earnestly requests your help.

My daughter is in a lot of pain. I can't see her like this.

Please help us.
