    ANGSHUMAN ANTUSH GAIN

    from Kolkata, West Bengal


6-Year Old Angshuman has been suffering from a liver disease by birth. But unfortunately, even after years of continuous treatment, this little one's liver has given up and now only an urgent transplant can save him.

He underwent a liver surgery just 3 months after his birth 

"My son has only known what pain is. At just 3 months old, his liver had cysts and it got infected because of blocked bile ducts. The doctors tried every possible treatment that were within our humble means - medicines or inserting a pipe in his stomach - but none of it worked. We have no come to the point that we dreaded the most. My son's liver has failed and we need 25 lakhs to save him." - Animesh, father

His liver disease never gave him a chance to live a normal childhood

Before Angshuman's parents could celebrate his birth, they were given a list of precautions and antibiotics for their newborn child. As time went by, his eyes turned yellow and his stomach started bulging out. He has always been a weak kid, and would suffer from frequent fevers and swollen hands and legs.

"We tried our best to give him a normal childhood and enrolled him for school too. But his weak body couldn't handle it and we had no option but to discontinue his schooling. It hurts me that he never got a chance live like other kids and make friends. Every day, he is all by himself, suffering and writhing in pain. But he still keeps a smile on his face for his Ma and Baba." - Kalyani, mother

Despite being his donor, this father is unable to save his son

Animesh, Angshuman's father, is a matched liver donor for his son's transplant. He has been fending for his treatment for 6 years, but now he has exhausted everything, from his land to his savings.

"I have lost count of how many times there were medical emergencies owing to Angshuman's critical health. We have had to foot bills of lakhs in the past few years. I have no savings left because whatever I earn from my NGO job goes away in my son's medical emergencies. And now finally when I have a chance to be his donor and save him, I'm helpless for not being able to gather 25 lakhs so soon." - Animesh, father


Nobody can tell from Angshuman's smile that this poor kid is suffering from immensely in his daily life. With a transplant, Angshuman can do all the things that he had to miss out on, these past 6 years. He is eligible for a transplant, but the only thing that is holding them back is the lack of funds. You can help end Angshuman's misery and give him a new lease on life.
