“The guilt I feel from being powerless in helping my child keeps me up at night,” cries Aryan’s mother.
“We have spent nearly INR 21,35,000.00 on his treatment in the last 6 months. But now we need ₹10 lakhs more to save him.
My husband goes from farm to farm, asking for work as a laborer, 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.
Please, help us save our child!”
Aryan was born a healthy, happy baby in January 2021. But in the last 6 months, his health took a turn for the worse.
He became extremely weak, and his parents noticed his vision was deteriorating. He often fell, bumping into objects right in front of him. His worried parents rushed him to the hospital, and the doctor's diagnosis changed their lives forever.
Aryan was diagnosed with Thalassemia Major, a debilitating blood disorder. 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, Aryan 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.
But we didn’t give up. We went back to our village, begged, and borrowed from everyone we could. Finally, in April, he underwent the transplant.
We thought we had won the battle, but it had actually just begun,” Aryan’s mother said, tears in her eyes.
Unfortunately, Aryan has developed a severe condition, causing his liver to enlarge and fluid with blood to collect in his lungs and abdomen. He is currently suffering from severe bleeding in his bladder (hemorrhagic cystitis) and pneumonia.
Aryan has grown terribly weak due to the frequent injections and treatments. He has lost his appetite, and the doctors consider his situation critical. He is currently on oxygen support.
Aryan needs broad-spectrum antibiotics, multiple daily bladder irrigations, pain management and blood transfusions. He needs to continue this treatment in the Bone Marrow Transplant Unit (BMTU) for at least two weeks. The cost incurred so far is INR 21,35,000.00.
“We have done everything we could. The medications weren’t a long-term solution. My Aryan’s health has deteriorated, and I don’t know how else to save my child,” his mother says.
However, despite a glimmer of hope, Aryan’s family can’t afford to continue his treatment. The estimated cost is a staggering ₹10 lakhs, which they simply cannot manage.
Aryan’s father, a farm laborer, barely earns enough to feed the family. They recently moved to Bangalore from their village and have no source of income, currently living in the hospital premises.
So far, the family sold everything they had for his initial treatment and now have nothing left.
You are this family’s only hope. Your kindness can bring them a step closer to seeing Aryan healthy again. Help Aryan heal!
