*Abandoned By Husband, She Struggles To Save Son From Cancer*

“My husband left me and my sons 8 years ago for another woman. He was not ready to take responsibility for us. He is as good as dead to me and my children. I thought I was enough for my kids, but now I feel defeated as a mother for not being able to afford my younger son's cancer treatment.” – Jayashree, mother 

Rakshith is a 16-year-old who is shouldering way more responsibility than any other normal teenager of his age. He has only completed his high school and has not been able to study further due to poverty. Rakshith works in a water distributor company as a supplier and takes care of his expenses and also supports his older brother's studies. Rakshit is currently undergoing treatment for non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, which is a type of deadly cancer that originates in the lymphatic system. His employers have helped his mother to start off his treatment. However, Jayashree is unable to afford his further chemo sessions and treatment. A month ago, Rakshith had a swelling on his neck too.
