“Everytime I see Nehal lying on the hospital bed, writhing in pain, unable to walk even a few steps on his own, tears roll down my eyes. I can’t believe that he is the same boy who would always stay outside of home, running around, till as long as it was possible. In just a few months, my son’s life has changed for the worse. Now we are running from pillar to post trying to afford the chemotherapy that will cure Nehal,” - Rupa, mother.
“Maa I took so many medicines - why isn’t my pain going away?”

Medicines were of no respite to Nehal any longer.“After coming from school, he used to drop his bag and go out and play with his friends. He used to take his little brother, Krishna, along with him. I remember getting angry with him then - only if I knew that soon my son wouldn’t even be able to walk.”
