“After my husband died of cancer, I raised my sons alone—every day was a fight, but we stood together. My eldest was born with just one hand, and still, he never gave up. And Devansh—he had just started earning, proudly telling me I didn’t need to work anymore. But now he’s completely bedridden, unable to speak or move. I had already lost my partner in life. I can’t lose my son too.”—Vandana, mother of the beneficiary, 22-year-old Devansh
A few months ago, Devansh met with a severe car accident. He sustained severe internal injuries that affected his vital organs, with his brain undergoing serious damage. He is now paralyzed on the left side of his body, with only slight movement in his right hand. Doctors say that he can recover if he receives constant medical attention and therapy, but his family is struggling to arrange funds for his treatment.
‘He just stares blankly now… I don’t even know if he knows I’m there with him’
Since the accident, Devansh has not spoken. He lies in bed, unresponsive, his eyes open but distant.Before the accident, Devansh had just started working at a private firm. He was excited, hopeful, ready to lift the weight off his mother’s shoulders. But fate turned cruel. Everything changed in a single moment.“I sit beside him and talk like nothing has changed. I tell him stories, I remind him of home, of better days. But he doesn’t answer. He just lies there. Silent. My son—my sunshine—has gone somewhere I can’t reach.”—Vandana, her voice breaking.
This is a mother battling asthma, alone, and still fighting for her son’s life
Vandana had been working at a private company to support her sons after her husband's death. But her worsening asthma forced her to quit. Just when she thought she could breathe easier—Devansh stepped in to support her—the accident took him away from that life. Her elder son, Ansh, was born with only one palm and is emotionally fragile. He supports as much as he can, but the burden of care, logistics, and strength falls entirely on Vandana’s shoulders.
“Now I handle everything—his feeding, his medicines, his therapy, the house. I haven’t rested in months. But what choice do I have? I’m his mother. If I break, who will care for him?”—Vandana
Lakhs spent, savings gone, car mortgaged—and still it’s not enough
The family has spent over ₹15 lakhs since the accident—emptying out savings, insurance, and emergency funds. Vandana has mortgaged their car and sold household belongings just to keep the treatment going. And now, she is left with nothing but hope as the doctors have said that it will cost around ₹20 lakhs more for Devansh’s full recovery. This is an amount that she cannot arrange given her circumstances.“I’ve given up everything. My job, our savings, even our car. We’ve already lost so much in life. I cannot lose my son too. I need help to get my son treated so that he has a chance to recover, to walk again, to speak again—to live the life he was just beginning to build. Please support us.”—Vandana
