Hemang (name changed for confidentiality and privacy reasons) is a young adult, scarred by childhood adverse experiences, suffering from intense episodes of Bipolar Affective Disorder, a Severe Mental Illness (SMI). The illness has been debilitating, each episode sending him plummeting down in his life. His family is dysfunctional, effectively leaving Hemang with no support, apart from the hospital he is in- St. John's Medical College Hospital, Bengaluru.

We at the Department of Psychiatry, have been helping him in any way we can- although we fall short often, especially when it comes to supporting him financially for his treatment and continued followups, which he desperately needs!

Here is where you can help.

We are struggling to find funds to pay his hospital bills. While Hemang continues to stay in the hospital, we are also trying to get him to find a job and sustain himself in the long run- but until then, we need your help.

Every little bit helps- however little, however much.

(Currently, his bill is approximately Rs. 32,000/-.)

All the kind hearts out there, please come together to help Hemang!

[PS.: Hemang has given his consent for us to raise funds for his hospital bills. Please contact the campaign organizer (Jilu David) for more details!]
