My name is Upendra Vaste, I am here to raise funds for my friend Shankar who is 34 years old, He has a 2.5-year-old son Arush. Shankar is a simple honest, and hardworking father. He toils from 6.30 AM till 9 PM every day to provide for his family and take care of his son Arush.

Arush is suffering from a rare neural ailment, which has delayed his global development. Despite being 2.5 years old, he still can not sit without support, walk or speak. Arush requires constant care 24X7 for even the smallest of the tasks.

After a continuous struggle for the past 1.5 years and multiple opinions and treatments, we finally have a ray of hope to revive his neural activity and rehabilitate him. This may require more than one iteration of stem cell treatment (each lasting close to 6 months ). Currently, we are raising funds for two rounds of this treatment. Lets do our best to give this child an opportunity to live his life on his own terms.
