Help 2-year-old Nihaal Fight Liver Disease

Story

Hello All,

I am Ramakrishna, my son Nihaal, aged 20 months, Date of Birth: 19-08-2015 is suffering from PFIC (Progressive Familial Intrahepatic Cholestasis), a liver disorder from birth, because of which he suffers intense itching.

He keeps scratching his body rigorously day and night resulting in bleeding. He neither eats nor sleeps. Unable to bare the pain He keeps crying continually, because of which he suffers intense itching.

We have consulted many hospitals, doctors, tried many medicines to subside itching but in vain. My son's health started deteriorating day by day. Doctors suggested undergoing "Liver Transplantation" which they say is the only option left and is mandatory if my son is to stay alive.

Due to the criticality of Nihaal's situation, he was asked to undergo a liver transplant and he successfully underwent the surgery on 17th November 2017 and his mother donated a part of her liver to him.

I work at a seeds company packing seeds. I get Rs. 15,000/month which goes towards the rent, household expenses, Nancy's and my younger sibling's education. I had to quit education as my father died when we were young and I had to step up for my family. I managed to get one of my brothers to study and he is working as a teacher in a town nearby.

Doctors estimated that the transplant would cost around 22 lacs. We have already raised a certain amount for his transplant through a previous campaign on Milaap - https://milaap.org/fundraisers/help-boy-nihaal. We still have another 9 lakhs to pay. I no longer have any money left to pay the hospital for the treatment and I am now in debt.

Please help me pay for my son's treatment
