• Sunil, 45, is battling multiple illnesses – chronic kidney disease, diabetes, high blood pressure, and a brain tumour (right frontal meningioma).
• He’s undergone emergency treatments – including ICU stay, ventilator support, and a tracheostomy to help him breathe.
• He urgently needs two major surgeries – brain tumour removal followed by a kidney transplant within 3 months.
• Family has exhausted all savings – after months of treatment and dialysis; your support is crucial to help save his life.

“When pain becomes part of your everyday life, hope becomes your strongest medicine.”

My name is Ruchi. I’m the wife of Sunil, a 45-year-old man who’s been fighting one health crisis after another with more strength than I’ve ever seen in anyone. He’s currently being treated at Manipal Hospitals, Bengaluru.

This is not a story I ever imagined writing. Sunil was diagnosed with chronic kidney disease last year. Since February, he has been going for dialysis 3 times a week. That alone was tough. Dialysis takes a huge toll on the body, he would come home exhausted, drained, yet still smiling.

But a couple of months back, things took a turn for the worse. He suddenly struggled to breathe, and we had to rush him to the ICU. He was put on a ventilator, and doctors had to perform an emergency tracheostomy, a procedure where they cut a hole in the throat to help him breathe.

Even after that, Sunil's condition kept declining. He had several seizures, which doctors found were due to a brain tumour, specifically a right frontal lobe meningioma. It’s a type of tumour that grows slowly but can cause serious issues like seizures, confusion, and personality changes. The only option is surgery.

Sunil also suffers from diabetes and high blood pressure, which makes recovery even harder. On top of that, his kidneys are barely functioning, so he still needs regular dialysis. After the brain surgery, doctors say he must undergo a kidney transplant within 3 months. Both surgeries are critical and urgent.

We’ve spent everything we had, over a year’s worth of savings gone. We've sold valuables, borrowed from friends, and now, we’re left with nothing but each other and hope.

“I don’t need a perfect life. I just want my husband back, healthy.”

That’s all I pray for every day. And that’s why I’m asking for your help.

Your support will help us cover the cost of his brain surgery, his ongoing dialysis, and the kidney transplant he desperately needs.

मेरा नाम रुचि है। मैं 45 वर्षीय सुनील की पत्नी हूँ, जो एक के बाद एक स्वास्थ्य समस्याओं से इतनी मज़बूती से लड़ रहे हैं जितनी मैंने पहले कभी किसी में नहीं देखी। उनका इलाज बेंगलुरु के मणिपाल हॉस्पिटल्स में चल रहा है।

यह ऐसी कहानी नहीं है जिसके बारे में मैंने कभी सोचा भी हो। सुनील को पिछले साल क्रोनिक किडनी रोग का पता चला था। फ़रवरी से, वह हफ़्ते में तीन बार डायलिसिस के लिए जा रहे हैं। बस यही उनके लिए बहुत मुश्किल था। डायलिसिस शरीर पर बहुत बुरा असर डालता है, वह घर आकर थके हुए, निढाल हो जाते थे, फिर भी मुस्कुराते रहते थे।

लेकिन कुछ महीने पहले, हालात और बिगड़ गए। उन्हें अचानक साँस लेने में तकलीफ़ होने लगी, और हमें उन्हें तुरंत आईसीयू में ले जाना पड़ा। उन्हें वेंटिलेटर पर रखा गया, और डॉक्टरों को आपातकालीन ट्रेकियोस्टोमी करनी पड़ी, एक ऐसी प्रक्रिया जिसमें उन्हें साँस लेने में मदद करने के लिए गले में एक छेद किया जाता है।

इसके बाद भी, सुनील की हालत बिगड़ती रही। उन्हें कई बार दौरे पड़े, और डॉक्टरों ने पाया कि ये ब्रेन ट्यूमर, खासकर राइट फ्रंटल लोब मेनिंगियोमा के कारण थे। यह एक प्रकार का ट्यूमर है जो धीरे-धीरे बढ़ता है, लेकिन दौरे, भ्रम और व्यक्तित्व परिवर्तन जैसी गंभीर समस्याओं का कारण बन सकता है। इसका एकमात्र विकल्प सर्जरी है।
