Life had always been a struggle for the family. His elder daughter was born with a disability that made walking difficult, and even after a painful surgery and years of therapy, her condition hadn’t fully improved. Every penny he earned went toward ensuring her comfort. But fate, as it seemed, wasn’t finished testing him.
The Fate Didn't Leave His Son As Well
Their 14-year-old son began experiencing relentless high fevers. Medicines would provide temporary relief, but the fever always returned. They rushed him to the hospital, only to receive the devastating diagnosis—he had blood cancer. The treatment began immediately, but it was a grueling process. The chemotherapy drained him, leaving him nauseous and weak. His thick black hair—so treasured as part of his Punjabi identity—fell out completely. He refused to look at himself in the mirror, ashamed of his appearance
He would cry to his parents at night, asking, “Why me? What did I do wrong? I’ve never hurt anyone. Why is God punishing me?”
His Sister, Despite Being Handicapped, Feels More Concerned for Him
His mother spent countless sleepless nights holding him as he cried in pain, softly wiping his tears and whispering words of comfort to help him sleep.
Even though his sister faced her own challenges, she worried more for him. “When Papa takes him to the hospital, I stay back and manage on my own,” she said quietly. “I just wish I could do more for him.”
They Need 15 Lakhs for Treatment, But It's Beyond Their Reach
His father sold the taxi that was his only source of income. The money was gone within months, swallowed by the medical bills and the costs of traveling from Dehradun to Apollo Hospital every 11 days for the chemotherapy.
“We’ve spent everything we had,” he said. “I borrowed from friends and relatives, but the treatment needs 15 lakhs more. I have tried everything but I don’t know what to do now.”
They Feel Helpless And You Are Their Only Hope
The boy who used to dream of being an engineer, who spent hours tinkering with old electronics and building little gadgets, now seemed to lose hope each day. His sister prays for his recovery, and his parents have done everything within their power. But they can’t do it alone anymore.
