Help Master Harsh For Bone Marrow Transplant

Story
Updates (24)

I am Sandeep Sudam Bhavsar age 35, stays in Dhule, Maharashtra state. My elder son Harsh Sandeep Bhavsar age 6 years is diagonised with Thalesemmia Major - Genetical disorder in which body will not create blood and hemoglobin levels go down below normal. It was detected at the age of 6 months, from then he is on blood transfusions every month. It is very painful for the kid to undergo blood transfusion every month which started at age of 6 months.

Per Doctor at Narayana Hospitals- Mazumdar Shaw Medical Center, Bangalore, the only solution is bone marrow transplant taking stem cells. The stem cells of parents/sibling did not matched with Harsh. We could found matching German Donor for stem cells.

The cost of carrying this transplant is 24 to 26 lakh ( 8lakh to get stem cell from stem cell bank in GERMAN + 16-18 lakh for BMT) excluding cost of any further complification.

It is very hard to collect 26lakh. I am by profession a farmer and selling milk. I could hardly do any savings due to family burden. As a family we could hardly
manage 10 lakh. We are in process of applying Goverment CM/PM fund for this case and hoping for some aid from Government.

I request your help to take out my kid Harsh out off Thalesemmia major and live him a normal life.

Dear Supporters,

Thank you for the wonderful support that you have shown towards Harsh. He had successfully undergone the bone marrow transplant procedure.

However, he developed a few post surgery complications, he had one episode of seizure and fever spikes while he was under supportive care. Currently, he is improving, however he needs a stay in bone marrow transplant unit for infection prevention, continuous BP monitoring, parental nutrition till complete recovery. Please support him by making your contribution at https://milaap.org/fundraisers/support-harsh

Thank you for the wonderful support. Please share the above-mentioned campaign link with your friends and family to help us in raising funds towards his treatment.

Regards,

Dear Supporters,

Thanks a lot for your wonderful support.

On 14th October I was with Harsh in BMT unit. Daily around 6 packets of platelet s are given to him. Physically his face & tummy looks swallon, his stomach is not able to digest and passes stool as soon as he eats. He wants to eat solid food but doctor restricted to eat Pediasure with water as solid food can create problems. Mild chemo is given to die down fight between cells. Due to chemo his cell counts are down and daily stimulating injection is going on to increase cell counts. Doctors hoping to increase his cells in couple of days with reduced fight between cells.

Right now we don't have any source for money and drained totally & again not sure how many days hospitalization will be there. Pease contribute.

Dear Saviours,
Thanks a lot for your wonderful support. Harsh was admitted in ICU for 3days since his Blood pressure increased which caused him unconscious for 4 hours. After that he sent back to BMT unit. Now last week his cell count and platelets are not increasing. When done bone marrow test we come to know that his cells are fighting with each other, killing themselves & platelet as well. This is called HLH secondary. Doctor has started the treatment and will take at least 2weeks to settle down this fight. We need to wait and watch. For Harsh Daily 3 units of platelet s & one stimulation injection is going on. Doctors are doing their best efforts.

Right now we donot have any source for money and drained totally & again not sure how many days hospitalization will be there. Pease contribute.

Regards,
Vishal
