PLEASE HELP MY SON UNDERGO BONE MARROW TRANSPLANT FOR THALESSEMIA

Story
Updates (4)

Am a widow , who lost her husband about 10 years ago (2007). My Son Mihir who hasn’t seen his father was born with a rare genetic disorder called Thalassemia. It is a condition in which the body is unable to produce hemoglobin and hence requires blood transfusion every 3-4 weeks, lifelong. The only cure for this disorder is Bone Marrow Transplantation (BMT) from a fully matched donor

After years of searching I have finally found a fully matched unrelated donor from a donor registry. The total cost of BMT would be 30 lakhs (approx USD 47,000), if everything goes well. But in case of complications it may easily shoot up to 45-50 lakhs (USD 69000 - 77000). The treatment needs to happen immediately for him to survive.

My Elder Son was also diagnosed with Thalassemia , but due to my financial condition and lack of fully matched donor, I could not save him. That guilt and loss will never leave me. Please help me save my last hope and the my only reason to live......Have lost everything in this life and won’t be able to bear one more.

Am working in a pvt firm and have tried to ensure a life of dignity to my child (and my elder son while he was alive) but the amount required for him to survive is beyond my reach. Please do help me save my son and/or atleast this share this message to anyone who you think can help. A mother’s good wishes will always be with you

Dear Supporters,

Here is an update on Mihir's health.

His hemoglobin level has gone down drastically.
However there is improvement in his health. He has been regularly going to school and has been eating properly.

Last week he was admitted to a local hospital for blood transfusion and now he is better.
Once again thank you all of you for the generous support you all have shown.

Regards,
Team Milaap
