“As a father, my only dream is to see my son grow up healthy and achieve everything life has to offer.” - Venkatesh Pallapothala, father.
We were overjoyed when our little Krishna came into our lives. Like every parent, we dreamed of watching him crawl, play, and grow up with his elder brother. But, everything changed when Krishna was diagnosed with Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA) Type 1 on April 7th, 2026.
SMA Type 1 is a rare genetic disorder that affects his muscles and takes away his ability to move normally.
Today, our 4-month-old Krishna cannot move his hands and legs like other babies. He has no head control and struggles with breathing. He has also been started on BiPAP support due to respiratory difficulties.
“My baby is too young to understand his pain, but I see his struggle every day.” - Anusha Pallapothala, mother.
Doctors have advised urgent gene therapy with Zolgensma, a one-time treatment that could help slow the progression of this disease. But Krishna needs to receive this treatment before he turns 6 months old!
The rising exchange rate has made our journey even more difficult, increasing our goal to ₹11 crore. This amount will help ensure our child receives both the life-saving treatment and the vital care needed after the procedure.
We are a middle-class family, and I am the only earning member supporting our family of seven. We have already spent nearly ₹8 lakhs on Krishna’s treatment using our savings, but the cost of his life-saving treatment is beyond what we can manage alone.
Our only dream is to see Krishna survive, grow stronger, and one day live independently like every other child.
Your donation and sharing of our baby Krishna’s story can help us bring him closer to the life-saving treatment he deserves.
