My Children Ask Me Every Night, ‘When Will Papa Talk Again?’ | Milaap

My Children Ask Me Every Night, ‘When Will Papa Talk Again?’ I Have No Answer


I never imagined life would turn this cruel. My husband is just 39 years old —  the only earning member of our family, the man who worked day and night in the fields to feed us. Today, he is lying helpless, battling the last stage of tongue cancer.

It breaks me every moment to see him like this. He cannot eat, he cannot drink, he cannot even speak. The man who once filled our home with laughter now lives in silence. Our children keep waiting to hear his voice. They don’t understand why their father doesn’t respond. I see the pain in their eyes every day. It makes me feel so helpless.


Doctors Say Only Targeted Therapy Can Save Him
For the last one year, he has been fighting this illness. First, it looked like just a mouth infection, but slowly our world turned upside down. He has already gone through multiple chemotherapies and surgeries. Now, the only hope left is targeted therapy, but it costs 12 lakhs more. Without it, doctors say his condition will worsen, and we might lose him forever.


Every 6 Days, We Travel 700 Kilometers To Delhi For His Treatment
It takes us 16 hours to reach there from our village. I take care of him alone, leaving my children back at home. They wait for me, waiting for their father to return healthy. They are so young — both are in school. Their school fees are unpaid, and I don’t even know how long I can keep them in school.


We Have Sold Everything For His Treatment
I have done everything a wife could. We sold our land. I sold my jewelry. I borrowed from relatives. But it is not enough. Now I stand helpless, with nothing left to sell. It is so painful to see my husband unable to speak. I want to hear his voice again. I want our normal life back.


My Husband Deserves A Second Chance At Life
Please help us..I feel like I have no strength left. I cannot lose him. We have just 15 days to arrange funds. Please, save him. My children deserve their father back. Your support can bring back his smile, his voice, and our family’s hope.
