St. Stephen’s Hospital in Delphi, India
Banish is a boy who has been on regular blood transfusions and iron chelation throughout his life. His father expired recently and his mother is taking care of the child. He needs regular transfusions, which are unfortunately very expensive and adds to their financial burden.
Praneeta’s father has been missing since she was 7 years old, and hence her mother is the only bread-winner and care giver for the family now. The mother looks after Praneeta, with transfusions, filter and oral iron chelation medicine costs. Praneeta’s mother has experienced difficult financial burdens and hence needs desperate assistance.
Ranbir’s medical expenses have been only managed by his mother after the death of his father. His mother is extremely poor and is under mental trauma since she had to stop his studies due to lack of funds for his treatment as well for his studies.
Personal Note: This is a very expensive disease and a life time commitment. These mothers struggle to keep their children healthy and alive and it is an International struggle that is why I personally believe that awareness is the best cure not only from prevention, but understanding the severity in health and financial that one person, research group, or doctor will come about with a cure worth a million unspoken words of joy and hope.
