For 3 months now, Haripada has not walked. "Baba, why am I not able to walk like other children?" he keeps asking a father who is at a loss for words to explain heart disease to a 4-year-old. Without a heart transplant, Satheyendranath Roy would have to prepare his son for the worst.

Sathyendranath and his wife Basanti went to consult in Kolkata more than thrice. No treatment helped their child, and the doctor suggested they move to South India where healthcare was better.

After 4 years, Haripada is here because his condition had begun to worsen. Earlier, a doctor had told him that medicines would control the disease, and he would recover soon. The family spent over Rs. 5000 a month on his medicines. Every month Sathyendranath would call his brothers for help. Though they were struggling, they gave as much as they could to buy him medicines. Now, this family is at crossroads unable to abandon hope or chase it.
In Bangalore, this family is living in a shack with laborers from their town, far from the hospital in Yelahanka. They travel every day by bus so they can save rent money. The father is a daily wage laborer earning Rs. 150-200/day working in sun and rain, and now feels terrible that he is losing out on the opportunity to support his family.
Your contribution can give this family hope and keep Haripada alive.
