"My ambition in life is to become healthy and then become a Chartered Accountant"- Vicky

32-year-old Akash (lovingly called Vicky) needs a kidney transplant urgently.

Sole breadwinner of the family

Akash lost his father back in 2006. His elderly mother suffers from hypertension. He has an elder sister, whom he got married with a lot of struggle.

Akash went through a kidney transplant in 2008, when he was fresh out of college. He suffered a heart attack in 2016. Since then, the doctor has told Akash that he needs to go for another kidney transplant. Akash and Nilesh tried to postpone dialysis for as long as possible- this is because after dialysis a kidney transplant is unavoidable.

Beaten down, but not broken:

Akash is determined to live his life. He is currently pursuing his CA articleship at Jabalpur, and he also takes Math tuition for 10th- 12th-grade students. His life's ambition is to become a Chartered Accountant.

Why is he fundraising on Milaap?

This campaign was started by his friend Nilesh, who met him when raising funds for a common cause. Nilesh was impressed by how keen Akash was on helping others, even when he himself was struggling with kidney failure.

"How would I describe Vicky? Simply put, a living legend. Someone who undergoes lots of hardships in life but refuses to be bogged down. He will keep smiling and helping others"- Nilesh, about Akash

How can you help?

Since August of 2016, Akash undergoes dialysis once a week, and an injection that costs Rs 2000/- every week as well. Nilesh, Akash's friend, is supporting these expenses. Akash's sister and her husband are supporting his other medical needs as of now.

Akash is scheduled for a kidney transplant- doctors are expecting this to happen towards the end of March. Since this is a cadaver transplant, doctors have told him to expect expenses including clearing of the deceased person's bills.

The surgery expenses initially amounted to Rs 10 lakhs. After consideration, the expenses were reduced to Rs 7.5 lakhs. This is a huge amount for Akash to manage on his own.

Your contribution can help Akash achieve his life's dream- help this 32 year old get well and live a normal life!

Dear Friends,

The wait for Kidney is getting delayed. Akash is on continuous dialysis - twice a week.

Thanks is a very small word, yet we take this opportunity to express our gratitude.

Please help us, friends.

Dear Friend,

We thank you for all the wonderful support that you have shown us, and are eternally grateful to you.

We have gotten the update from the hospital regarding costing, hence we are reducing the target.

We are also extending the campaign run as the date of surgery is not yet confirmed.

Please share the campaign as much as possible and help us save a precious life and give comfort to a mother.

Sincerely,
Nileesh

Dear Supporters,

Here is an update on Vicky (Akash Arora), who is in dire need of a kidney transplant. He is still admitted in the hospital and is on dialysis. As soon as a suitable donor is found, he will undergo a kidney transplant.

It is a hard phase to cope up with for his family. His mother was a state government employee, who retired 15 years ago. She receives a pension of INR 5000 a month. Before being admitted to the hospital, Vicky was pursuing CA. He has cleared the first set of examination. In order to support his family and his studies, he would take tuitions and earn not more than INR 7000 a month. Unfortunately, during his first kidney transplant, he lost his father.

They have approached the government of Madhya Pradesh, requesting for funds. As of now, there has been no release of funds. We will keep you updated.

We thank you for being such a great support and contributing for Vicky’s treatment. However, we are still very far from the actual goal. Sharing his campaign and reaching out to people will largely help his family. Blessings to you all!
