Story


“Every time I look into Rikhiya’s eyes, I see a fighter. But I also see the pain she shouldn’t have to bear.”- Atanu (dad)


Hi, I am Atanu, Rikhiya’s dad.

When my wife and I welcomed Rikhiya into our lives, we were overwhelmed with joy. The day she was born felt like receiving a precious gift from God. But we had no idea that our happiness would soon be overshadowed by fear and uncertainty.

At just one month old, Rikhiya was diagnosed with jaundice. Since then, her condition has only worsened, leading to liver failure.

She is currently undergoing treatment at Max Super Speciality Hospital, Saket, New Delhi. Now, the only way to save our little girl is through a life-saving liver transplant.


How can jaundice cause liver failure?


  • Underlying Liver Disease – Conditions like biliary atresia or hepatitis can cause persistent jaundice, leading to liver damage.
  • Bile Flow Obstruction – Blocked bile ducts prevent the liver from removing toxins, causing liver dysfunction.
  • Toxic Buildup – Excess bilirubin (which causes jaundice) can accumulate, damaging liver cells.
  • Liver Infections – Certain infections can worsen jaundice and lead to liver inflammation and failure.
  • Genetic Disorders – Some metabolic or genetic conditions can impair liver function, making jaundice a sign of progressing liver failure.


“I carried her for nine months, dreaming of a life where she would play, learn, and be happy. But now, I am carrying the weight of fear and helplessness.”- Rikhiya’s mom


Please save my little girl!

Rikhiya is now 7 months old, but her jaundice is worsening, and the fluid buildup in her stomach is making her condition even more critical.

As a father, I feel helpless, but I refuse to give up. My little girl deserves a chance to live, to smile, and to grow up like every other child.

The cost of her life-saving liver transplant runs into lakhs. My family and I have done everything we can to arrange the funds, but we are still falling short.

You have the power to change her life. Your support can give my baby the future she deserves. Donate now!
