A reminder will be sent to you for your urgent donation to Punam Santra’s fundraiser.
We have a gift for your kindness!
One of the rarest cancers, they call it. Ewing Sarcoma has spread rapidly in my 8-year-old’s body. From a tumour in her collarbone to her being unable to move her hands and legs, this cruel disease is slowly stealing my daughter away from me.
My name is Prabir Santra. My daughter Punam has been in the PICU at Manipal Hospital for the past 18 days. It all started in December 2023 with a pain in her left shoulder. We took her to a government hospital, hoping it was something small. But after multiple tests, X-rays, and biopsies, we were left with more questions than answers and had to turn to a private hospital.
"To think that just last year, my happy, playful daughter was so full of life... Now, she's fighting for every breath as she battles stage 4 bone cancer."
We went from West Bengal to Manipal Hospital in Bangalore. It was here that we discovered the devastating news—a tumor in her collarbone. At this advanced stage, Stage 4 Ewing's sarcoma had already begun spreading to the rest of her body, making our fight even more urgent.
The doctors told us Punam needed 14 rounds of chemotherapy, so we started treatment in January itself. With my farming income, we managed to scrape together Rs. 5.5 lakh, hoping it would help our daughter get better soon. Things seemed to be improving, and we were about to start her 11th round of chemo when, 18 days ago, she got a serious infection.
Suddenly, her body went numb—her mouth, neck, hands, and legs. She couldn't walk, and her left leg and hand were swollen. We rushed her to the emergency room, but her condition kept getting worse, and she was moved to the PICU. Even now, her fever spikes, only to suddenly drop, leaving us worried and helpless.
The medical bills have climbed to huge amount. We are desperate to save our daughter but are running out of time and options. I am a farmer, earning just Rs 8,000 a month. My wife is a housewife, and we have a 4-year-old son waiting back home for us. We’ve already sold our land and my wife’s gold, but we know we can’t do this without you. Our daughter needs continued PICU stay before she can get stable and hope to fight her cancer once and for all.
There was a time when our Punam would ask, "Will we go home soon?" or "Will we go home tomorrow?" Now, she’s in too much pain and exhaustion to even think about that. At just 8 years old and in 1st grade, her life is only just beginning. Don’t let it end so soon. Please help us save our daughter.

You will get an email every time an update is posted. Alternately, you can use the "Contact campaigner" option on the fundraiser page to directly get in touch with the campaigner and understand how your donation benefited them.
Once the requirement of this patient will be met, any remaining funds will ultimately go towards helping other needy patients in line with Impact Guru's mission of helping save as many lives as possible.
For all medical fundraisers, the funds will be directly transferred to the hospital’s account. Only in a few cases, based on Impact Guru’s discretion, the funds might be transferred to the campaigner or the patient’s account for postoperative or at home expenses.
In cases, where the funding requirement of the patient changes due to factors such as death, change of treatment plan on advice of hospital, delay in treatment, medical complications, Impact Guru utilizes the funds to help similar patients with the mission of helping save as many lives as possible.
90%+ of Impact Guru’s campaigns raise funds leveraging our do-it-yourself fundraising platform.
