"I have no money left to even feed my children, how am I going to pay for her treatment? I have approached my relatives but they have turned me down. I had given up hope for my daughter’s recovery thinking it to be some punishment for some unknown sin I have committed."
It took Shivanna 2 years to realize his daughter is suffering from an aggressive form of cancer. He can see his daughter dying in front of my eyes but with no money in hand, he can in no way save Chandrika.
She was good in studies and helped her mother with household work as well. Two years back she had a boil on her leg, the local doctors asked them to get it removed and they followed the instruction. She was fine for more than a year, until recently when she got another boil on her hand. This time they took her to a separate hospital where the doctor doubted it to be cancer. They referred her to Bangalore where it was confirmed that
Chandrika has Recurrent Ewing’s Sarcoma. It is one of the rarest and cruel forms of cancer. From then on life has become an endless struggle for the family.
Chandrika has gone through 5 rounds of chemotherapy, she has lost all her hair.Now she feels very weak and can hardly move around. Shivanna has not told Chandrika about cancer. She knows that she is ill and will be fine very soon.
Seeing their helplessness the hospital suggested them to go ahead with crowdfunding.The person who was once not comfortable disclosing his daughter’s disease to the village is begging to the world for his daughter’s life.
The only way to save her is to continue her high-dose chemotherapy followed by Stem Cell Transplant. The cost of it is Rs10 Lakhs. He can never arrange for such a humongous amount of money without your kind help.
