Devika’s life and journey have been tumultuous so far. A media executive, a widowed mother to a child with special needs and a cancer survivor, she has seen some of the most challenging times in her life and yet defied the odds to emerge a fighter.
She lost her husband to a kidney operation that went wrong. At the same time, her older son was diagnosed with a rare chromosomal disorder. But, being the inspirational woman that she is, Devika even fought back against multiple myeloma like a fighter and didn’t back off one bit.
Everything seemed good until her cancer came back with a vengeance. Since July 2020, she has tried everything – from chemotherapies to a bone marrow transplant, with no luck. But there’s still hope. A new medical procedure called CAR-T has shown 100% recovery rates for patients and is available in China. Having spent all she could while tending to her ailing husband and child, crowdfunding is the only way she can afford the costly treatment.
Devika has previously raised 40 lakhs from her loved ones, and this fundraising campaign will help raise the remaining 2 crores 91 lakh rupees that can save her life.
