“The guilt I feel from being powerless in helping my child keeps me up at night,” cries Adhiraj’s mother.”
“We have spent nearly INR 18,00,000/– on his treatment in the last 6 months. But now we need more ₹17 lakhs more to save him. “
My husband goes from caterers to caterers, asking for work as a waiter, but his earnings are barely enough. We have struggled so much to collect this amount, and now we are running out of time and options.
Adhiraj was born a healthy, happy baby in 2022. But in the last 6 months, his health took a turn for the worse. He is diagnosed with a genetic rare disorder, Hurler Syndrome. (Hurler syndrome have an abnormal accumulation of complex sugars in their cells, which affects many of the systems in their bodies.) Since then, his life has been a cycle of painful transfusions, the only thing keeping him alive.
At just 2 years old, when most children are playing and exploring, Adhiraj has spent his childhood in and around hospitals, going through immense pain just to survive.
“We are uneducated, but as the doctors explained, we started realizing that our son’s life was at risk. They recommended a bone marrow transplant as the only option. But when we heard the cost, it felt like the ground was pulled out from under us. The estimate cost involved is INR 35,00,000/-.
But we didn’t give up. Somehow we struggled and arranged Rs 18 lacs for the transplant but more Rs 17 Lacs is needed.
Please help us fulfil this gap. We hope to win this battle. You are our only hope left. Your kindness can bring us a step closer to seeing Adhiraj healthy again. Help Adhiraj heal with your kind contribute now!
