Sangeetha, a sweeper and Venkatesan, a daily wager, have been trying very hard, all their life to give the best of everything to their children. Yet, right now, they’re at their wit’s end. Their youngest daughter, Anushka, is suffering from a terrible blood disease and now without a bone marrow transplant, her life will be in danger.  

She is bleeding from her gums, her condition is getting critical with every passing day

Way back in 2015, Anushka got a very high fever. No amount of medicine could make her better. The local hospitals gave up and her parents rushed her to Egmore for better treatment. After a few days in the hospital she was fine to go back home.

“We were relieved. Back then, we had no idea that this would be the start of a horrific journey for us. That our Anu would be diagnosed with a blood disease just 2 years later. And now despite medicine and proper care, her health is failing. She needs transfusion every month but even that’s not working anymore…,” - Sangeetha, mother, unable to stop her tears. 

My entire family depends on my income and I haven’t received my salary in the last 10 months

Sangeetha works as a sweeper in a government school, she earns a meager income of Rs 5000. Venkatesan earns on a day-to-day basis,that is hardly enough to run his family. The family as a whole depends on Sangeetha’s income.

“But I haven’t been getting any salary for the past 10 months. There are days when we hardly eat anything, even my kids go hungry. We have already spent a lot of money on Anushka’s treatment but she needs the bone marrow transplant or else she won’t live. What should I do?” - Sangeetha. 

How you can help

They need around 30 lakhs for the transplant. They are in no position to arrange for so much, you’re their only hope. Any contribution from your side will mean a lot.
