“He had finished his 10th standard exams. My nephew said he had performed well and was looking forward to his results. In just a few days, his future became uncertain. We thought it was a hearing problem, and now he is on a hospital bed racing against time.” - Aftab (Uncle)

3 months ago, I suddenly fell deaf in one ear. I told my parents and we went to the ENT. One of our relatives knows someone at the local hospital so there, the doctor suggested we get a CT as it seemed like a problem with hearing. My parents received the news first. When they told me, I felt like the ground way beneath my feet just gave way. I had a tumor on one side of my brain that affected my hearing. That was not it. I had another tumor on the other side, which was also affecting my hearing on the other ear. My uncle, Aftab, suggested we come to Bangalore for a second opinion.
“I could not let him get treated in Kolkata. We do not have proper facilities,
and he means the life to us. We could not risk losing him to poorly equipped hospitals.”

This surgery costs Rs. 3 Lakh and it is only to remove the bigger tumor. After excising that I will still be deaf. After a few months, they will remove the tumor on the other side. It costs nearly the same. Overall, we have to bear medical expenses of Rs. 7 Lakh. We cannot afford that much.
“Sekh’s condition is getting worse. He is now having double visions. He is unable to walk properly. The tumor is affecting his motor functions. Even when he sleeps, his eyes remain half open. Sometimes he is unable to sleep. The doctor has to sedate him.”

“He is behaving like a mad man. But we understand. My brother and his wife are extremely depressed. I keep praying to Allah to save our boy. Please, if anyone is listening, we are doing our best to arrange for funds. Here is the truth, at the max, we can only get Rs. 10,000 more. Nobody we know has anything more than they gave us. You are our hope for saving our boy.”
Allah knows I am not ready to die yet. I hope he gives me the will to win this fight, and your help to get this surgery.
