6-month back, when Baby Sanabil was born, her family couldn't stop celebrating. Her parents were beyond thrilled at the prospect of having a newborn in their home, but sadly their happiness did not last long. Baby Sanabil has been diagnosed with bone cancer soon after birth and her life is in danger. She needs to undergo a surgery immediately to survive.
Once they got here, the family spent 10 days at another hospital. Eventually, she was taken to Tata and biopsy was conducted. The results finally told them what was wrong with their daughter, it was a diagnosis nothing could have prepared them for.
Sanabil's father Irshad is the sole breadwinner of the family and with his meager income, he has to support his wife, children, and his parents. Hailing from Uttar Pradesh, he and his wife have been in Mumbai for past 2 months for their daughter's chemotherapy. They have exhausted whatever little funds they had. The baby also has to be operated for a tumor. The doctor has given the parents a month's time to arrange for the money required for the surgery.Supporting Documents

Suffering since born
The day after she was born, the doctors told her parents that something was wrong with their little one. Her calf and thighs in the right leg were joined, and she seemed in a lot of pain."For few months after, even if we touched her right leg, she would shriek in pain. She couldn't sleep at night, and most of it was spent with her crying and us helplessly looking at her, trying to make her feel better. She was in so much pain. It still breaks my heart every time I remember her shrieks through the night", said Sanabil's father, Irshad.
