    This fundraiser will benefit

    Prateek Srivastava

    from Rajiv Gandhi Cancer Institute , New Delhi

Hello, my name is Pratistha Srivastava and I am raising funds for my brother Prateek’s treatment. Prateek is 28 yrs and a very promising young man who has been diagnosed with a rare form of life-threatening Blood Cancer - Acute Myeloid Myeloma (Leukemia) and is undergoing treatment at Rajiv Gandhi Cancer Institute, New Delhi from the last 2 months. During his treatment, Prateek was also diagnosed with Covid19 and is since then undergoing treatment in ICU.


Prateek’s Treatment process requires Chemo Therapy followed by Bone Marrow Transplant. There is a parallel process wherein Prateek has to be infused with Plasma (to recover from Covid), Platelets (required 2-3 times per week), and regular units of WBC as his body is unable to make blood on its own.
 
The estimated time for the surgery and post-surgery hospitalization is total approx 3-4 months. The estimated cost of the entire treatment including post-hospitalization care and follow-up is approx Rs 70 Lakhs to Rs 80 lakhs (approx USD $ 1,00,000) and the family is in no position to bear this cost.

My family is of 4 people..My father is retired , Mother is a house wife (also suffering from Corona), and I had to leave my job to be with my family and manage the Hospital formalities. My father has exhausted all his Life's savings , used all his family's resources and yet we are no where near the amount required. Each day in the hospital is adding more and more amount to the bill for his Medicines , Covid Care , Plasma infusion, WBC infusion , Platelets infusion and other hospital expenses.

Prateek is a hard working young man with a Hotel Management from IHM-Bangalore and an MBA from IITTM,Noida. His confidence is still high and he cannot wait to start working again so that he can support his Loving parents.

We urge you to come forward and help a brother and family in need of your support. We may not be able to offer anything in return but we would remember you all in our prayers. We really really need your help. We appreciate each and every contribution from your end and thank you for your kind contribution to support this cause. God bless!!
