Mr. Himank Pandya, the father of Mast. Omansh Pandya, works in a private job with a very limited income. His wife, Mrs. Khushboo Himank Pandya, is a homemaker. They are a family of 5 members, completely dependent on Mr. Himank’s small earnings to manage their daily livelihood. Their life took a painful turn when their 9-month-old baby boy, Mast. Omansh Pandya, was diagnosed with Leukocyte Adhesion Deficiency (LAD-1), a rare and serious immune disorder. This condition has put the child’s life at constant risk of infection, and doctors have advised a Bone Marrow Transplant (BMT) as the only curative treatment.

As part of the medical process, the baby has successfully completed his blood tests, and the doctors have planned to begin his first chemotherapy session within the next 2-3 days. In total, the baby requires 7-8 chemotherapy sessions before proceeding with the transplant. The total estimated cost for the Bone Marrow Transplant along with chemotherapy is Rs. 30,00,000/-. So far, the family has somehow managed to raise approximately Rs. 23-24 lakhs through personal efforts, loans, and support from well-wishers. However, they are still short of Rs. 6,00,000/-, which is urgently required to move ahead with the treatment.

With no savings left and already under extreme emotional and financial pressure, this humble family is unable to manage the huge medical expenses on their own. They have approached little Heart Foundation with great hope for financial support in this difficult time. We earnestly appeal to kind-hearted individuals and organizations to come forward and help Mast. Omansh Pandya in this life-saving fight. Your support will give this innocent child a chance at a healthy future and bring relief to his struggling parents.

Dear Supporter,

Mast. Omansh Pandya (9 months old), who has been bravely fighting Leukocyte Adhesion Deficiency (LAD-1).

🙏 By God’s grace and with your prayers, Omansh underwent his Bone Marrow Transplant surgery on 20th September 2025. The procedure was completed successfully, and the baby is currently stable. However, he will need to remain in the hospital for the next 2 months under close monitoring.

💰 The total estimated cost of treatment is ₹30,00,000/-, out of which ₹27,19,000/- has been raised. We still have a balance of ₹2,81,000/- to cover the remaining medical expenses.

We earnestly request your continued prayers and support to help complete Omansh’s treatment and give him a chance at a healthy life. Every contribution, big or small, will make a difference. 

With regards,
Little Heart Foundation
