"There is nothing more painful than watching your family crumble under the weight of illness. I see my husband suffer every day, and my heart breaks seeing my daughter juggle work and school to help pay for her father's treatment. This is not the life I dreamed for my children." - Maloo, wife of beneficiary

The diagnosis that changed everything

Life changed for us four years ago when my husband started having swelling in his body. At first, we thought it was something minor, but his condition worsened, and the swelling spread. He was admitted to the hospital, and after several visits and tests, we found out it was his kidneys.

 

We tried to keep hope alive, but three months ago, the doctor confirmed our worst fear—he has kidney failure. He now needs dialysis three times a week, but due to hospital constraints, he only gets it twice. His health is slipping away, and we feel powerless.- Maloo

‘I can still recall the day his disease was explained to us’

It felt as if the ground had been pulled out from beneath my feet. They told us his kidneys couldn’t function anymore, and without proper treatment, the future looked bleak. My husband has always been our pillar of strength, working tirelessly as a farmer to provide for our family. Now, he struggles to stand for even a few minutes. His smile has faded, replaced by pain and exhaustion. My children are scared; their father is their world, and seeing him this way has left them shaken.

"He is everything to us. Watching him grow weaker every day is a pain I cannot describe. Without an urgent kidney transplant, he will not survive."- Maloo

'We have spent over three lakhs in just three months, we don't have money to even eat properly’

All the money was borrowed from relatives because we had no savings. Our family survives on farming, and there is little left after the hard work. My daughter, who should be focusing on her studies in the 11th standard, now works as a receptionist at Omkar Hospital in Jalgaon to support us. My son, just 12 years old and in the 9th standard, tries his best to help, but the situation is too overwhelming for him. We live in a small hut on our farm, and most days, we struggle to afford even a proper meal. The burden is suffocating, but I can’t stop; I have to stay strong for my family.

"We are desperate. I don’t know how much longer we can hold on like this. I’m pleading for help—any help—to save my husband and give my children a chance at the life they deserve."-Maloo
