Mohit is a curious and talented child his father thinks he has a bright future ahead once he is cured, Kishore wants him to become a Doctor who would treat patients for free. The family lives inside a temple compound. Mohit has grown listening to bhajans and watching the musical instruments being played. Mohit's curiosity and interest led him to start playing Dholak two years ago and now he sometimes joins the bhajan group and sings with them.Mohit doesn't show signs of illness, however, his parents only know how hard the journey has been for their son till now. Mohit's illness has prevented him from starting his schooling for a long time. The Parents hope all his pain will go away and hope to see him healthy soon.
"In order to save Mohit the parents even conceived another child, however, the unborn was also detected to be suffering from thalassemia and unfortunately had to be aborted."
Mohit was detected of thalassemia major when he was just 3 months old, since then the Parent's have traveled to all the hospitals in Rajasthan in hope to save their only child. In Rajasthan, "The hospitals are not equipped to treat a disease like this and the only way I could save my child was undergoing frequent cycles of blood transfusion." Says Kishore. In order to save Mohit the parents even conceived another child, however, the unborn was also detected to be suffering from thalassemia and unfortunately had to be aborted.
One of the family friends suggested them to visit NH hospital and meet Dr. Sunil Bhatt. Dr. Sunil Bhatt counseled them to undergo the BMT with Mohit's mother Veena as the donor who has a 50% match with Mohit's bone marrow. Since then Parents are desperate to arrange money for Mohit, however, their options are extremely limited since they barely make 14000 in a month.
Why should you contribute?
Mohit's father works as an employee in a garment shop and manages to earn 10000 a month, his mother does stitching and saree fall work and adds another 3-4 thousand to the income. However, the family needs 32 lakhs in total for his transplant and cannot depend on their earnings for arranging funds.
By the help of family friends, his employee, and the temple trustees Kishore has been able to arrange 3 lakh rupees and he has also arranged another 1 lakh through his savings and has managed to get 3 lakh rupees from PM fund. However, Mohit still requires 25 Lakhs and your contribution would be the only way to make his treatment Possible.
