“I can’t think of anything now but saving him. Nothing in my life prepared me to handle something this horrible. He is a wonderful, caring person, and this illness is threatening his life. Though I don't understand how it happened, I can care for him all my life. I just want to take him home. I can’t lose him at any cost” says Mousumi.
Mousumi’s brother Dipam and Subrata’s father are the only ones supporting Mousumi. They have rented out a room in Chennai and spending sleepless nights. Mousumi hardly talk to anyone and she refuses to eat anything. She is desperately waiting to see her husband back to normal life.
They have sold the house and everything they had yet the bills are unpaidThough never rich, the couple lived a modest, happy life. Life will never be the same again. Subrata's father has sold his house and all the valuables like jewellery they had. They need Rs 1.5 lakhs to 2 lakhs per day and they have no source of income. They are helpless and they have no strength to even explain their sorrow.
“Throughout all of these tragic events that have thrown themselves upon us, we have remained determined to save him. It is heartbreaking to see my sister in such a terrible state, she is disturbed and restless, I have no words to console her. She is very scared that the medical expenses may become too much to save Subrata,” says Dipam.

Subatra worked as a housekeeping executive in a hotel for a meagre salary. His father worked as a primary school teacher. The family has exhausted all their savings and still have looming unpaid medical bills. They are determined to save Subrata and hope to continue their life with him. It would be unfortunate if they are forced to stop the treatment due to insufficient funds. The medical bill is expected to come around Rs 30-35 lakhs in coming days. Only your contributions can help them.
