My name is Swati Shukla and I am here to raise funds for my son Abhash Pandey who is 2 years old. Abhash Pandey lives in Gorakhpur, Uttar Pradesh with us.
Abahsh is suffering from Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) which is a rare & one of the most severe disease which causes skeletal and heart muscle weakness & eventually affects all voluntary muscles of the body. Currently, Abhash is having enlarged calves & facing trouble in climbing stairs, getting up from the floor, & running.
As of now there is no treatment or cure for this disease, but *Gene therapy* has given a ray of hope to us which got successful in US recently. We approached Nationwide Children Hospital, Columbus, USA for Gene therapy & they are agreed for it. This procedure will cost around *₹ 29 Crore* .Till now we have spent ₹10 lakh from our savings & family’s support.
In the next few days, we need Rs.1,00,00,000. more for future medication. Please come forward to support my cause. Any contribution will be of immense help. Do contribute and share this crowdfunding fundraiser link with your friends and family.
