    Bhanu Venkata

    from Hyderabad, Telangana

A few days back 10-year-old Bhanu Venkata was diagnosed with Wilson's Disease.

What is Wilson's Disease?
Wilson's disease is a genetic disorder in which copper builds up in the body. Symptoms are typically related to the brain and liver and include vomiting, weakness, fluid build up in the abdomen, swelling of the legs, yellowish skin, and itchiness.

Bhanu's condition is quite critical. His stomach has completely swollen up and his eyes have turned yellow as well. Bhanu has become very weak and urgently needs treatment.

Last month, Bhanu fell sick with symptoms like jaundice. He started vomiting and his eyes turned yellow. He became too sick to go to school. Even after admitting him in the hospital in Hyderabad, his symptoms only got worse. Bhanu's parents were very afraid, but now, they know there is a way to save Bhanu.

Given that Bhanu's condition is so severe, he has been advised to immediately undergo a Liver transplant. The cost of liver transplant amounts to approximately 16 lakh INR.

 Bhanu has become very weak because of his condition

Unfortunately, Bhanu's family do not have the funds required to pay for his transplant as his father only earns 18000 Rs. a month. They are willing to do whatever it takes and need our help.
How Can You Help
Unlike most children his age, Bhanu is not scared of injections and has never cried at all the invasive tests. He just wants to get better and go home. Pardhasaradhi is over 3 lakhs in debt and he needs to arrange 16 lakhs more to make that happen. It is an amount far beyond his means and there is no way he will be able to arrange it in time. Contribute to help this desperate farmer save his son.
