I'm Chaitali, I live in Kolkata with my Mother. This Diwali, while lighting candles in our home, my mother's sari accidentally caught fire and by the time I could put it out, she already had 40 percent severe burns.

She's admitted in M.B Nursing Home in Park Circus, Kolkata (ITU Bed No. 109), within a special burns unit and her state is extremely critical. The costs of her treatment along with the daily medicines are beyond my reach, as I'm a school counsellor and the only earning member at home. We have no savings as we had spent it all on my father's treatment, who passed away last year.

This is my request for help. Please donate any amount you can and help me save my mother. Any amount will help. I have already lost my father, she is all I have.

Please help.
