Hi! Thanks for checking out my campaign page. I am helping best friend and life mate, Saswata Basu, who has been recently diagnosed with a severe chronic ailment called Crohn's Disease, to raise funds for his treatment. Saswata popularly known as BASU is an alumnus of NIT Trichy (a reputed engineering school in India) who left a lucrative engineering career in IT and dedicated his life to endeavour with the kids to make their learning effortless, meaningful and fun filled. He is a teacher and an education technologist who is currently engaged in developing new pedagogical methods in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math) education complying with 21st Century education for school kids.

Crohn's Disease is a debilitating, chronic inflammatory bowel disease that affects the digestive tract causing a number of symptoms such as abdominal pain, ulcers, blood diarrhoea, weight loss, anemia and fatigue, etc. Patients with overt disease are at a significantly higher risk for GI tract cancers, necessitating regular screening for diagnosis. The disease has no cure, immunosuppressant are used to slow the progression of the disease. Surgery may be needed if medications are not effective. For a patient with Crohn's disease, life is extremely regimented, requiring constant vigil and surveillance.
As of now his restricted movement is preventing him for taking a regular job and I too, have to remain unengaged to ensure his day to day care including managing his special diet and timely medicines. He is very passionate about his work and dying to get back among his kids. Kindly contribute to help the ever smiling Basu and let's stand up for him who always selflessly worked for the betterment of the education system for the next generation learners.

The Crohn's diagnosis and the subsequent treatment are putting a lot of stress on his health and strain on the finances to the point that they have their exhausted their savings. Please help with whatever amount possible to enable Saswata to continue his treatment and get back to as normal a life as possible.

Hi All,

This is really a testing time for the entire mankind and for any Crohn's patient perhaps it is little more difficult as their immunity is highly compromised. I am not an exception and struggling an extra bit on a day to day basis as I am stuck away from home for last three weeks amid lockdown that started roughly two weeks ago. My doc suggested no movement and hence I am forced to stay where I am stuck!! I have no choice but to manage cooking, dusting, cleaning, washing clothes amidst shortage of supply of essentials especially medicines. I am fighting all on my own with unlimited mental support from my near and dear ones. I am a die hard optimist and trust every phase of life opens some new avenues for learning. Whatever nature decides, it is for our betterment as a human being. Nothing more to add in my update, stay at home, stay safe

Thanks again for your continuous support and well wishes!!

As Always,

Saswata Basu

Hi All,

It has been more than two years now that I am fighting with Crohn's Disease with all your help and support!! The regular checkup with my GI and other doctors are going on along with the regular tests. The joint pains and tooth aches are increasing as the winter is setting in. Lately my eyes are itching a lot and doctors attribute it to the air pollution. My Blood Sugar and BP has also risen significantly during last quarter while Vit D, VIT B12, Potassium, Calcium and Magnesium levels are keeping their usual low. Vitamin tablets and Natural supplements have been keeping me alive. That is all for now. Keep in touch and take care.

As Always,

Saswata Basu
