Help Save Gohela- The Pride of India
A rising Indian Archer Gohela Boro of Kokrajhar, Assam is suffering from the diseases SLE (systemic lupus erythematosus) and ANCA (anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies) since November 2016.
Who is Gohela?
She is the daughter of Ratan Boro and Hapwr Boro.
What is she known for?
Gohela has been battling for her life since November 2016.
She was treated at Gauhati Medical College (ITU) from 23rd November 2016 to 13th January 2017. On 13th January 2017 Gauhati Medical College referred her to AIIMS, New Delhi or Apollo, Chennai.
Since then she was simply lying on the bed as neither she nor her family could afford the required treatment, due to their poor financial condition. Since last week of March 2017Gohela has not been able to eat anything and was just surviving on a bowl of water. Her fingers and left leg toe are decaying and slowly she is losing her parts. Till now she lost her left toe and few fingers.
On 5th April 2017 Discovery Club, a Kokrajhar based NGO visited her and temporarily admitted her to RNB Civil Hospital, Kokrajhar. However, the doctor has advised to shift her to AIIMS, New Delhi or Apollo, Chennai as soon as possible for her further treatment.
Thus, family members of Gohela are planning to move her to AIIMS, New Delhi as soon as possible.
Gohela's father is a daily wage labourer and mother is a peasant they have given everything they could on Gohela's treatment now they only have hopes left. Approximate estimation by the Gauhati Medical College suggests that an amount of more than Rs. 5 lakhs will be required for her treatment at AIIMS, New Delhi.
How can you help?
It is very sad to see a player of her merit to suffer so much. Ms. Gohela is our pride, our talent, and our dignity. Therefore, it is a humble request to one and all to donate whatever you feel like is right and share the cause with your friends and family so that she can come out of this battle, go back to archery. The required amount is large, but with enough people willing to help, it won't be a hurdle at all.

Gangrene is almost cured, she can walk, but there are chances of infection if she skips any medical course. Medicines are also given to get rid of iron stored in the liver. The doctor has prescribed a lifelong medicine to keep her haemoglobin rate constant.
Doctors said lupus is not a Curable Diseases but treatable one. She needs to take medicines for life long and have to do regular check-ups. Gohela has to take 28 medicine tablets a day few are cheap but few are expensive costing INR 800-900 per tablet. Doctors said that slowly they will decrease consumption of medicines.

The regular check-up will also be done and in case of emergency she will be directly shifted to AIIMS, New Delhi affirms d Dr Uma Kumar, head of the department of Rheumatology.
