Aarohi was born on November 14, 2024, and the moment I saw her tiny face, my heart filled with love and joy. But that joy quickly turned to fear when the doctors told us that something was wrong. My sweet little girl was diagnosed with spina bifida and hydrocephalus. They explained that her spine had a defect, and there was fluid building up in her brain, causing pressure. I didn’t understand everything they said, but I understood that my baby was suffering, and I felt so helpless.

Aarohi is only two months old, and she’s already in so much pain. Every day is a struggle for her. She can’t move like other babies, and she cries because she’s uncomfortable. I can see the pain in her eyes, and it breaks my heart. I just want to take it all away. The doctors have told us she needs surgery to fix her spine and put in a shunt to relieve the pressure on her brain. If she doesn’t get these treatments soon, her condition could get worse. I’m so scared about what might happen if we can’t find the money for her treatment.

My husband works as a daily wage laborer. His income is barely enough to cover our everyday needs, and I am a stay-at-home mom. We have a 9-year-old son who we also care for. Our financial situation is difficult, and now we’re faced with a huge amount—₹5,16,500—for Aarohi’s treatment. The doctors have made it clear that we can’t wait. Time is running out, and I’m not sure how we’re going to make this work.

We have received some help from the Chief Minister’s fund—around ₹80,000 to ₹85,000—but it’s still not enough. Every day I worry about how we will manage. I’ve lost sleep over this, thinking about how much pain Aarohi is in and how helpless I feel. I just want to see her healthy, to see her grow and laugh like any other child. But right now, all I can do is pray for a miracle.


I’m reaching out to anyone who can help. Even the smallest donation will bring us closer to the treatment Aarohi desperately needs. I don’t want to lose her. She’s my world, and all I want is to give her a chance at a healthy, happy life.


Please, if you can, help us. Aarohi deserves a future, and with your support, we can give her one.


Your Donation Is Helping Not 1 But 3 People!

Your intention to help an individual can turn into a spectrum of generosity. How, you ask?

Because the donation you make for little Aarohi will not only heal her but also help 2 more patients in need!


  1. 20-year-old Pratik needs urgent BMT for Aplastic Anemia; family can't afford care.

20-year-old Pratik Haraknde was diagnosed with Aplastic Anemia and is currently in the ICU, awaiting a Bone Marrow Transplant. A bright student with dreams of pursuing B.Tech., his treatment has put his future on hold. His daily wage labourer father and elder brother are struggling to support his care.

  1. Aradhita is fighting SMA (Type 2) and needs prolonged medicine, which costs ₹5 crores. 

Aradhita, 26, battles Spinal Muscular Atrophy Type II, leaving her paralysed and dependent on her parents. Her family seeks ₹5 crores for Risdiplam treatment. Despite her artistic passion, Aradhita struggles with basic tasks. She dreams of independence but feels like a burden. Her parents, despite their love and reassurance, are helpless. Aradhita's story is a plea for help, a chance at a normal life.

 Your donation towards this fundraiser will support both their treatments.
