Why am I fundraising?
Jaantul is all of 8 years old. She has a genetic condition called Hypoplastic Anemia, which means she is not able to generate platelets from her bone marrow. As a result, she has experienced dizziness ever since she was 6 months old, continuous bleeding from mouth. She is a native of Bangladesh, her parents will not be able to afford medical care for longer. She has already done 6 blood transfusions and needs help for chromosomal breakage testing and follow up treatment.
She is now in Bangalore with her dad. His sister, Parul is our household help.
What do I plan to do with the funds?
She need at least ~4 Lakhs to get the treatment started. After scraping some fundings and talking to NGOs, Parul has managed to get ~2 Lakhs. All of the amount raised will be used for medical expenses of Jaantul.
