Anjali is a 22-year-old who has been struggling with an uncommon cancer from 2013. Her cancer has relapsed twice and the only way to save her now is a bone-marrow transplant. Her father is a taxi-driver who has by now exhausted all resources in her treatment. He needs help giving Anjali the last shot at getting better.
The ordeal began in 2012, when Anjali started falling sick. She would get frequent bouts of fever, vomitting and weakness. It was only a year later that her cancer was identified as Hodgkin Lymphoma – a rare, fast spreading cancer that starts in the lymphatic system.
Anjali has been taking treatment for her cancer for the last four years
Anjali started chemotherapy and radiation therapy. After over a year's treatment, her cancer relapsed. That was the first time and the family was prepared for the possibility. Anjali started her treatment again and for a whole year after treatment she was starting to feel like she had really beaten cancer this time.
When Anjali fell sick this February, her family knew that her illness was no ordinary fever. Her cancer relapsed again and the only cure this time is a bone-marrow transplant. In the face of the bad news, it is hard for the family to stay strong. Especially when the procedure is beyond their limited means.

Even though every one in the family has made personal sacrifices to save Anjali – it will still not be enough to save her.
