Maheshwari is a simple housewife, who lives in the slum area of Sangam Vihar in New Delhi.

She was diagnosed with mouth cancer a few months back. While she has received surgery to remove the cancerous tumour; in order to completely eliminate it from her body, she has to go through intense radiation.

Maheshwari and her husband don't have any support from her family. Her husband is an auto rickshaw driver, and but because he has to be at home to take care of her 24x7, there is no income coming into the house. At this point, they are even struggling with getting food rations.

We're trying to raise these funds to help Maheshwari with her treatment, medicine and livelihood costs. Her radiation therapy is estimated to go on for close to a year. All these costs come close to 3 lakhs.

We request all those who wish to help Maheshwari look forward to a better life, to come forward with whatever they can give. We'll be posting regular updates as she improves. You may reach out to the poster if you require any other details.
