Some months ago, Venkatesh was a  man with full of dreams and ambitions. His deepest pain was not able to continue his education due to family circumstances. As soon as he completed his PUC he started working on a farm as a daily wager to support his family. He believed that he can regain those lost moments through giving the best education to his children. He was working day and night for it. Now, his life has taken a drastic turn, he fears he may not be able to support his family due to the dreaded disease - cancer.

Venkatesh is just 27 years old. He hardly had any health issues. He was a healthy and hardworking person. A month ago, he got a high fever, he thought he just needs a rest and it would settle down in few days. As days passed by his condition became worse, he was not able to even get up from the bed. His temperature was too high and he was taken to a hospital.
Shilpa, his wife and he thought it must be a viral infection. A series of tests were taken. When the doctors asked them to sit down they knew a bad news was coming but nothing could have prepared them to hear those dreaded words.

Venkatesh fears about leaving his family all alone
"I did not fear about death, I feared to leave my children and wife alone. How can I do that? what will happen to my children? I was so broken and I did not know what to say to my wife. I had never seen her crying so badly. We were lost completely." - Venkatesh.Venkatesh lives on the outskirts of Bangalore. It was a very tough decision for Shilpa to remain at home while Venkatesh's sister accompanied him to the hospital in Bangalore for treatment. Shilpa is forced to stay at home because she cannot take her 2-year-old daughter Thanmai to the hospital. She does not stay with anyone but her mother. Her 5-year-old son Keshav is going to school.
