    Dipesh Sarki

    from Kolkata, West Bengal

Dipesh is in unbearable pain. His body aches all the time, so much that he can’t even lift his hand to drink water on some days. He has lost all his hair, he is losing weight every day, and there are days when he struggles to even speak - for a musician, that is the most devastating thing. It’s evident that Dipesh is very, very sick. He has blood cancer. But there’s one thing that has kept him going till now – music. Even through the pain of cancer, he sings and plays his guitar for the entire cancer ward. He just wants to make everyone happy.
Dipesh can die without treatment, but he's determined to live for music. 

He is fighting cancer without his parents by his side 

When Dipesh’s parents were heartbroken when they heard their son has blood cancer. They had almost given up all hope. But Krishna didn’t. He was determined to save his younger brother, even if that meant dropping out of college.
“It was only Dipesh and me from day one. I have seen him go through so much without a complaint. High fever, ice baths,stomach infection, breathing trouble - he has had it all. He was even in the ICU for a week. That was the first time when I thought I will lose him. It is getting very difficult for him.”


Krishna had promised his parents that he will bring his brother home safe - now he is scared that he will not live up to that promise. They have nothing to continue Dipesh's treatment, and Dipesh doesn't have long to live without it.



Dipesh loves singing, he dreams of having a home studio one day. He wants to teach children music - he wants to spread love through music. But all of this now seems like a distant dream. He is very weak and tired now, he can hardly lift his beloved guitar now. He needs continued chemotherapy - that would cost his family about 20 lakhs.

 “We have spent over 7 lakhs. But there is so much more that we need to pay. Dipesh needs the treatment. He is my little brother and I can’t give up on him. Please help me.”  


They are very poor and have nothing left with them to save Dipesh's life. He is an active teenager who loves music, he wants to live his life to the fullest. You can help him do that.
