“We did not know what the word ‘dialysis’ meant before our son got so sick. We are so poor that we never used to go to the hospital unless it was urgent; we would try to bear our pain due to poverty or get used to it. But our son’s life is important to us, and we are having to frequent the hospital thrice a week for his sake.” - Sushila, mother.
Little Mohit suffers from unbearable pain and weakness now. He has still not gotten used to the needles that pierce his veins as part of the dialysis process. He cries and begs his parents to free him from the torturous process, not realizing it is what is keeping him alive.
This 6-year-old is a victim of end-stage kidney disease along with high blood pressure, putting his heart at risk too. Dialysis is only a temporary fix for his condition; a kidney transplant is the only real cure for him. And it needs to be done urgently before his body starts giving out.
For almost two years now, this little boy has only been suffering
One day, a year and a half ago, Mohit’s body swelled up suddenly. His parents were alarmed as they had not seen anything like this before. They took him to many local clinics they could afford to go to, before finally taking him to a bigger hospital when his condition didn't improve. That is when he was diagnosed with the disease that has made his life pure hell now.“He had to take a lot of medicines every day – on some days, he took more medicines than food. But he did not become ‘normal’. Now it has worsened to the point where all he does is complain of pains in his body. We are completely helpless.” - Sushila, tearfully.
Mohit’s father works all day, but doesn't earn enough to save him
Mohit’s family consists of his father Suresh, mother, Sushila, and two sisters, and runs on the regular but meagre income earned by Suresh, who is a daily wager. In order to put food on the table, Suresh has to put in more than 12 continuous hours a day. Nowadays, he has to skip work occasionally, when Mohit’s dialysis is due. This has greatly affected his earnings.“My husband must arrange more than 11 lakhs for our son’s kidney transplant. We cannot even afford to buy something called a catheter for his dialysis sessions. How can we arrange such a huge amount of money to save his life?” - Sushila, mother.
These poor parents have nobody to help them and are counting on your support to save their son.
