“Mummy, goodbye. I think today is my last day.”

That’s what my 7-year-old daughter whispered to me. What do you say when your child is ready to give up on life?

Just weeks ago, she was chasing cricket balls and dreaming of wearing the Indian jersey. She topped her class, helped her younger brother with homework, and filled our home with laughter.


There were no signs. No fever, no pain. She was perfectly healthy. But on February 18th, 2025, our lives changed forever. Doctors told us she has Midline Pontine Glioma — a rare and dangerous brain tumor affecting the brainstem, which controls vital functions like movement, balance, speech, and breathing. Since then, everything has turned upside down. She's now at home — but she barely responds. Just days ago, she was speaking to us. Now, she lies still, silent. I sit beside her, call her name again and again, hoping to see her eyes flutter open. But most days, there’s nothing.


Doctors say she needs urgent immunotherapy.
It’s the only way to slow the tumor and give her a chance to survive. But the treatment is expensive and must begin immediately — and we simply cannot afford it.


My husband used to work in a warehouse. But when our daughter fell sick, he had to constantly take leave to manage hospital visits, tests, and sleepless nights by her side. Eventually, it became too difficult to balance both, and he had to quit his job to stay by her side. I’m a homemaker. With no income and nowhere else to turn, we feel completely helpless.


She once believed she’d grow up to make India proud.

Now, she fears she won’t wake up tomorrow.

As parents, it's the most painful thing we've ever faced — knowing that help exists, but we can’t reach it alone.
