Story


"My two-year-old daughter is my world, and I am fighting every day to ensure I can be there for her. But this life-threatening brain condition has turned our lives upside down." - Reshma Valliappan

At just 44, Reshma has been diagnosed with a meningioma, a brain tumour that has left her battling for her life. 


As the sole breadwinner of her family, Reshma’s illness has placed an unbearable burden on her loved ones. The diagnosis followed months of persistent headaches, partial body seizures, and difficulty concentrating—symptoms that finally revealed the life-altering condition - Brain Meningioma: A cancerous or non-cancerous mass or growth of abnormal cells in the brain.


Treatment and Financial Challenges

Reshma underwent complex brain surgery at Poona Hospital and Research Centre, Pune, to address the tumour. While the surgery was successful, her recovery journey is far from over. 

  • Post-operative care
  • Physiotherapy
  • Anti-epileptic medication
  • Regular follow-ups 

These are all critical to ensuring her long-term health and preventing further complications.


The estimated cost of this continued treatment is in lakhs, an overwhelming amount for her family, who has already spent multiple lakhs of money from savings, loans, and diluted fixed deposits. 


With no income since her diagnosis, her elderly parents and toddler rely entirely on outside help.


Why Your Support Matters

By contributing, you will help Reshma afford the life-saving care she needs, secure her recovery, and rebuild her life as a mother and provider. 

“By supporting Reshma’s recovery, you will not only help Reshma regain her health but also enable her to continue providing for her daughter, who depends on her entirely.” - well-wisher 


Together, we can ensure that Reshma can return to her daughter, healthy and strong, to nurture the future they both deserve.


Help Now

Your generosity can make all the difference in Reshma’s fight for survival. With your big donations and support, Reshma will cross all hurdles and be there to provide for her loved ones.
