Latest Update


Dear Donors,

It was only possible because of your generous support that Abhimanyu Bhave, a 23-month-old diagnosed with Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA) Type 2, received the life-saving gene therapy on 6th October 2025. SMA Type 2 is caused by a deletion in the SMN1 gene, and gene therapy is the only treatment that can stop the disease from progressing.

Thanks to the contributions and encouragement from donors, Abhimanyu has successfully undergone the treatment and now has a chance at a healthier, brighter life.

The fundraiser will now be closing as the goal has been achieved. Thank you to everyone who donated and supported Abhimanyu’s journey.

Story


All Hopes Rest on This – Help Save My 23-Month-Old Son Abhimanyu’s Life 🙏


"The battle of life can be won with kindness."


Dear Friends, Well-wishers, and Kind-hearted Supporters,

My name is Bhushan Bhave, and I’m reaching out as a father who is holding onto hope—hope that humanity, kindness, and collective compassion can save my little boy’s life.


My 23-month-old son, Abhimanyu, has been diagnosed with a rare and life-threatening genetic disorder called Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA) Type 2. This cruel disease slowly takes away a child’s ability to sit, stand, eat, speak, and eventually breathe. Watching Abhimanyu’s energy fade day by day is a pain no parent should ever experience.


A genetic test confirmed that Abhimanyu has a deletion in the SMN1 gene. The only treatment that offers a real chance at life is Zolgensma—a one-time gene therapy that can stop the progression of SMA. But this life-saving treatment comes at a staggering cost of ₹9 crores.


We are a humble, ordinary family. We've sold everything we could—jewelry, savings, assets—just to get started. But we cannot do this alone. We need your support to save our son.


🙏 Your contribution, no matter the amount, can bring us one step closer to giving Abhimanyu the life he deserves. And if you cannot donate, please share his story—it may reach someone who can help.


Every share, every rupee, every prayer matters.

From one parent’s heart to another,


Thank you for believing in Abhimanyu.

Thank you for standing by us.


With endless gratitude,

Bhushan Bhave

(Father of Baby Abhimanyu – Our Little Warrior)

आशेचा एकमेव आधार – माझा २३ महिन्यांचा मुलगा अभिमन्यूला वाचवण्यासाठी कृपया मदत करा 🙏


"जीवनाची लढाई दयाळूपणाने जिंकता येते."


प्रिय मित्रांनो, हितचिंतकांनो आणि सर्व दयाळू मदतीकर्‍यांनो,

माझं नाव भूषण भावे आहे. मी एका छोट्याशा, गोंडस बाळाचा वडील आहे—अभिमन्यू, वय केवळ २३ महिने. पण एवढ्या लहान वयातही तो मृत्यूसोबत लढा देतो आहे.


अभिमन्यूला एक अत्यंत दुर्मीळ आणि जीवघेणा आनुवंशिक आजार झाला आहे—स्पायनल मस्क्युलर अट्रॉफी (SMA) टाइप २. हा आजार हळूहळू मुलाचं चालणं, बसणं, बोलणं, खाणं आणि शेवटी श्वास घेणंही अशक्य करत जातो.


जनुकीय चाचणीमधून समोर आलं आहे की अभिमन्यूच्या SMN1 जनुमध्ये दोष आहे. यावर एकच प्रभावी उपचार आहे – Zolgensma नावाची एकदाच दिली जाणारी जीन थेरपी. पण या उपचाराची किंमत ₹९ कोटी रुपये आहे – एक सामान्य कुटुंबासाठी अशक्य वाटणारी रक्कम.


आम्ही घरातील दागिने विकले, सगळी जमापुंजी खर्च केली, जे शक्य होतं ते सगळं केलं—but आता तुमच्या मदतीशिवाय हे शक्य नाही.


🙏 तुमचा एक रुपयाही आमच्यासाठी अमूल्य ठरू शकतो. जर देणगी देणं शक्य नसेल, तरी ही गोष्ट शेअर करा – कदाचित ती अशा कुणाकडे पोहोचेल जो मदत करू शकेल.


प्रत्येक शेअर, प्रत्येक देणगी, प्रत्येक प्रार्थना आम्हाला अभिमन्यूला वाचवण्याच्या एका पाऊल जवळ नेत आहे.


एका हतबल पण आशावादी पित्याचं मनापासूनचं आर्जव…

आपल्या मदतीबद्दल मनःपूर्वक आभार.


अभिमन्यूला आयुष्याची दुसरी संधी मिळवून देण्यासाठी कृपया साथ द्या.

अतीव कृतज्ञतेसह,

भूषण भावे

(अभिमन्यूचे वडील – आमचा छोटा, पराक्रमी योद्धा)
