"My son has been suffering since he was just four months old. Every 25 days, he endures painful blood transfusions. Without a bone marrow transplant, he can never have a normal life. As a father, I feel helpless and burdened by the reality that my financial limitations stand between him and the treatment that could save his life." – Shyam Kumar, Father

Shyam Kumar and his wife, Ritu Devi, were overjoyed when their younger son was born, and their elder son was excited to have a little brother to cherish and grow up with. But their happiness turned into fear when, at just four months old, he started falling sick again and again. He had frequent fevers and colds. No medicine worked. One day, his skin turned pale. Worried, they rushed him to the hospital. A blood test revealed a heartbreaking truth—he had Thalassemia Major, a serious illness that means he needs blood transfusions for life.

At an age when he should be running and playing with his elder brother, this little boy is too weak to even go outside

While other children his age explore the world with boundless energy, he watches longingly from the window, yearning to join them. His seven-year-old brother eagerly waits for the day they can chase each other through the fields or play their favorite games together, but every attempt ends in exhaustion. Even the simplest activities leave him breathless, and the ever-present threat of infections keeps him sheltered from the world.



His parents do everything they can to protect him, ensuring he stays safe and comfortable, but deep down, they struggle with an overwhelming helplessness. They see the sadness in his eyes, the quiet longing for a normal childhood filled with fun and adventure. 

"It breaks my heart to see him in pain. Every time he gets a transfusion, he cries, but we have no choice. He is too small to understand why he has to go through this again and again. I wish I could take away his pain." – Ritu Devi, Mother

‘Being middle class is a curse that I cannot escape…please help my son get a healthy new life’

Shyam Kumar works as a peon at a school in Deoria. He earns a small salary, just enough to feed his family and send his elder son to school. His wife is a homemaker, looking after their children and his aging parents. In the past three years, they have spent ₹3 lakhs on their son’s treatment. Now, they have no money left for the bone marrow transplant that could save him.

"I work hard every day to provide for my family, but my earnings are not enough. I want my elder son to study well, and I want my younger son to live. But I can’t do it alone. I feel like I am failing as a father. Please help me save my child." – Shyam Kumar

This little boy deserves a future, free from pain. His only hope is a bone marrow transplant.
