Samarth is a 12-year-old boy suffering from thalassemia major since he was 6 months old. For the last 12 years, Samarth has been undergoing countless rounds of blood transfusions and has been only relying on such sessions to stay alive. He needs to get the transfusions done in every 10 days and has to travel more than 200 Kms each time. The only option for Samarth to remain fit is by undergoing a Bone Marrow Transplant (BMT) which will cost 22 lakhs, which is an impossible figure for his parents to arrange as the parents barely manage to earn 15 thousand rupees a month and need financial assistance. Your support can save a young boy's life and help him continue his education.
In 2005, Samarth's parents, Mahantesh and Savita were extremely happy to give birth to the brother to their daughter Swati, Once again their life was going to circle around looking after a newborn. Samarth was a healthy and a joyful baby, things were absolutely normal till the time he turned six months old.Samarth started falling ill frequently, his body constantly used to have high body temperature and he used to frequently catch a cold.
Seeing his condition the parents got extremely concerned and took him to a local pediatrician, however the pediatrician was unable to diagnose the actual problem and started treating him for common cold. When his condition did not improve the parents took him to a better hospital in Solapur where after some series of tests the diagnosis was confirmed as Thalassemia Major. The doctor advised the parents that Samarth would have to undergo frequent blood transfusions and would have to undergo Bone Marrow Transplant in future in order to get completely cured.
Samarth's elder sister Swati was identified as the donor however the parents could not afford the transplant that time and unfortunately had to only rely on blood transfusions.
His sister Swati is a grown up kid now, she constantly asks her father as to why cant they get his brother treated and hopes to see his pain go away soon.
Samarth is a bright kid and wants to study further, he scored 90% in 5th standard however Samarth is unable to attend school as he frequently falls ill and complains of dizziness most of the times. His health condition does not allow him to attend classes. Your contribution will ensure he get cured and continues his schooling.
Samarth's father Mahantesh works at a grocery shop in the morning and does a night shift at a garment factory and manages to earn 12 thousand rupees per month. In order to manage the expenses Samarth's Mother, Savita does stitching work at home and is able to make 3000 rupees per month. However, most of the money is spent in household expenses and arranging money for the boy's treatment is a huge challenge for them. They have managed to arrange 4 lakhs by selling off their land in Bijapur and 2 lakhs from family friends, Samarth's treatment is also being funded by PM fund with 3 lakh rupees. The family now requires 12 lakhs more to get the transplant done.
Please support Samarth's treatment and save his life.
