    This fundraiser will benefit

    Kavitha Ramesh

    from Hyderabad, Telangana


Kavitha was the quiet strength behind her family. She was more than a mother; she was a beloved schoolteacher, someone who gave everything to her students and her family.
That well-earned peace fell apart the day a brain stroke left her paralyzed and gasping for breath. Today, she can’t recognize anyone, not even her own son.

“She was holding us all together. Now we’re holding her, barely managing to stay afloat.” — Ramesh, Kavitha’s husband


Their Lives Shattered The Day Kavitha Collapsed

It was an ordinary visit to a neighbour’s house when Kavitha suddenly collapsed. When they reached the hospital, the doctors told them her high blood pressure had triggered a brain stroke. The damage was devastating; her entire left side was paralyzed, her speech was gone, and her memory had begun to fade.

With no insurance or savings, her family was forced to sell their jewellery and borrow from relatives just to keep her alive.

“I still remember calling the ambulance. Her eyes wouldn’t open, her hand wouldn’t move. It felt like a nightmare,” —Kavitha's son


By The Time Kavitha Finally Stabilized, There Was No Money Left

Doctors say Kavitha is still on the edge. Without constant medication and ICU care, she could slip back into critical condition at any moment. The treatment will cost ₹6 lakhs, and even her weekly medicines to control the swelling in her brain come to ₹15,000.


Her husband used to work six days a week at a rehabilitation centre, visiting them only on Sundays. Now, he’s left his job to care for her full-time. They’ve sold everything, borrowed from everyone they knew — and now, they have nothing left.

“She tries to move her fingers, like she’s telling us she’s still fighting. But without her medicines, doctors say she won't even have that chance,” — Ramesh, Kavitha’s husband


Her Dreams For Her Son Now Hang By A Thread

Kavitha always dreamed of seeing her son succeed. Even when they couldn’t afford his college fees, she would find a way. He was preparing for the JEE exams, holding onto her hopes as his own.

Now, those dreams are on hold. Kavitha's son has dropped out of college to stay by her side. But with no income, the family feels more helpless every day.

“I don't have any future plans or dreams now. Mom’s recovery is the only purpose and focus of my life.” —Kavitha's son


Help This Family Hear Her Voice Again

Kavitha's absence from their daily lives is unbearable. Her son misses even her scoldings and just wants to hear her voice again. Her husband feels a void in his heart. But without help, they may lose her.
 
Every contribution can bring her closer to healing.

Please, help them keep her alive
