Father's name: Arjun kumar MahatoMother's name : Sujitha Mahato
The family hails from Bihar. Arjun used to work in a company earlier but it shut down and he is currently out of a job. Sujitha is a homemaker and Aniket is the couple's only son.
Aniket has been undergoing treatment for his condition since 2014, when he was in Class 4. He stopped going to school when treatment started and hasn't gone for the past two years. The doctor had initially tried to correct his condition with just medication, which cost Rs. 22,000 a month. But medicines didn't work, so he now needs a bone marrow transplant. Arjun is a half match and so the family and the hospital are ready for the procedure, except for the funds.  
The family currently resides in a rented room on Greams Road, Chennai. They pay a monthly rent of Rs. 15,000 for their accommodation. Apart from Aniket's medical expenses, the family needs money for food and sustenance as well. They haven't gone home in a couple of months, for fear of Aniket catching an infection.
