Story


Hello everyone,


My name is Kranthi Kumar, and I’m writing this with a heart full of hope and a humble request.


My mother, who is just 48 years old, has been bravely fighting Young-Onset Parkinson’s Disease (YOPD) since 2021. This form of Parkinson’s is rare in itself, affecting only about 10% of all Parkinson’s patients who are diagnosed before the age of 50. But in her case, it’s even more severe — she suffers from a disabling variant called Akinetic-Rigid Dominant Parkinson’s.


Unlike the more commonly known tremor-based Parkinson’s, this type causes extreme muscle stiffness, slowness of movement, and constant, unrelenting pain. It has made even the simplest daily activities feel impossible for her — walking, sitting, eating — everything has become a painful challenge. It is heartbreaking to watch someone so loving and full of life slowly lose her ability to move or express herself freely.


To put it in perspective, only around 2 out of every 10,000 people suffer from this specific combination. Since her diagnosis, we’ve tried every treatment and medication available. But over time, they have stopped bringing her the relief she needs. Her condition is steadily worsening.


After multiple consultations, doctors have now recommended Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) surgery — a highly advanced procedure that could significantly improve her mobility, reduce her pain, and offer her a chance to live more comfortably again. It may not be a cure, but it is her best hope for a better quality of life.


However, this surgery comes at a cost of ₹19 lakhs (around $23,000), including the device. Unfortunately, our insurance policy does not cover this advanced treatment, and despite all our efforts, we are struggling to arrange the funds.


We are a middle-class family, and this amount is far beyond what we can afford. That is why I am reaching out to you — to anyone who can help, in any way possible. Whether it is through a contribution or by sharing this message with someone who might be able to help, your support means the world to us.


All we want is to give my mother a chance at living without constant pain — a chance to move, to smile, and to be herself again.


Thank you for reading, for caring, and for standing with us in this fight.


With gratitude,

Kranthi Kumar

శీర్షిక: బలమైన అమ్మను తిరిగి కడపడానికి సహాయం చేయండి – పార్కిన్‌సన్ వ్యాధిని జయించేందుకు మీ చేయూత అవసరం


నా పేరు క్రాంతి. ఈ విజ్ఞప్తిని నేను ఎంతో వేదనతో, ప్రేమతో, ఆశతో రాస్తున్నాను — ఈ కథను చదివే ఎవరైనా నా జీవితంలోనే బలమైన వ్యక్తిని — నా తల్లి జ్యోతి మాలాను — కాపాడేందుకు ముందుకు రావాలని కోరుకుంటూ.


నా తల్లి నాకు ప్రేరణ. ఓ ధైర్యవంతురాలు, దయగలవారు, త్యాగమూర్తి. మా కుటుంబాన్ని ప్రతి కలకలం నుంచి బయటకు తీసుకొచ్చింది. నన్ను నడవడం నేర్పించింది, బలంగా ఉండమంది, ప్రపంచాన్ని ధైర్యంగా ఎదుర్కొనమంది. కానీ నేడు, ఆమె ప్రతి అడుగు, ప్రతి మాట, చిన్న నవ్వూ — సవాలుగా మారిపోయాయి. ఆమె పార్కిన్‌సన్ వ్యాధితో పోరాడుతోంది.


ప్రస్తుతం ఆమె హైదరాబాద్‌లోని అపోలో ఇన్స్టిట్యూట్ ఆఫ్ మెడికల్ సైన్సెస్ అండ్ రిసెర్చ్ హాస్పిటల్, జూబ్లీహిల్స్ లో చికిత్స పొందుతున్నారు. ఆమె ఆరోగ్యం క్రమంగా దిగజారుతోంది. డాక్టర్లు దీర్ఘకాలిక మరియు అత్యవసర చికిత్సను సిఫారసు చేశారు — మందులు, థెరపీలు, అధునాతన వైద్యం అన్నీ కలిపి చికిత్స ఖర్చు రూ. 19 లక్షలు.


మేము ఇప్పటివరకు మా సర్వస్వాన్ని ఖర్చు చేసేశాము — పొదుపులు ఖాళీ అయ్యాయి, అప్పులు భారీగా పెరిగాయి. కానీ నన్ను ఈ లోకానికి తెచ్చిన అమ్మను వదిలివేయగలనా? ఆమె కోసం చివరి శ్వాస వరకూ పోరాడతాను. కానీ ఈరోజు, మీ సహాయం అవసరం.


ఆమె చేతులు వణుకుతూ నా చేతిని పట్టే ప్రయత్నం చేయడం చూడటం మాకు బాధగా ఉంది. నన్ను ఒడిచేసుకున్న అమ్మ నేడు కాళ్లపై నిలబడలేకపోతే ఆ వేదనను చెప్పలేను. ఆమె మరొకసారి నవ్వాలి. గౌరవంగా జీవించాలి. ఈ బాధల నుంచి బయటపడాలి.


దయచేసి — నా అమ్మను తిరిగి అందించడంలో సహాయం చేయండి.


మీ సహాయం — ఎంత చిన్నదైనా — ఆమె వైద్యం, మందులు, థెరపీలు కొనసాగించడానికి ఎంతో అవసరం. మీరు సహాయం చేయలేకపోయినా, ఈ కథను షేర్ చేయండి. అది సహాయపడగలిగే ఒక మంచి మనసు వాడిని చేరుతుంది.


ఒక కొడుకు నుండి — తన తల్లిని కోల్పోవడానికి సిద్ధంగా లేని కొడుకుగా — మీ దయకు, సమయానికి, ప్రార్థనలకు కృతజ్ఞతలు.
