Sometimes God tests people is various ways. Over the past 6 years, 10-year-old Tanmay and his family have gone through much pain and suffering. Tanmay cannot enjoy being a 10-year-old. He is not allowed to go to school, not allowed to make friends, not allowed to play in the open and not allowed to enjoy growing up.
Since the last 9 years whenever Tanmay falls sick it takes at least 2 months for him to recover. The reason, Tanmay is suffering from a rare genetic condition called Chronic Granulomatous Disease (CGD), which has damaged the whole immune system of his body. He cannot self-heal and it takes months and a heavy dosage of antibiotics to treat him for even small infections.
Imagine a 10-year-old getting injected every day for the next 4 weeks just to recover from a common cold. The only solution to end Tanmay's ordeal is by making him undergo a BMT transplant.
