Story


Help Shama Bakshi Rebuild Her Life After a Devastating Brain Injury


My name is Swati Prashar, and I am raising funds for my cousin sister, Shama Bakshi, who is courageously recovering from a Severe Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) with Skull Fracture and Multiple Brain Hemorrhages following a devastating road accident on 24 May 2025. Shama is 42 years old and was a dedicated school teacher, as well as the primary earning member of her family before the accident.


She has undergone multiple life-saving surgeries and is now receiving full-time nursing care and physiotherapy at home after being discharged from the hospital. While her surgeries and hospital treatment were covered under the ECHS medical scheme, the ongoing expenses for professional nursing care, caregivers, nutrition, and rehabilitation are not covered. Our family has already spent ₹6,00,000, and we are now seeking to raise ₹6,00,000 to continue providing the care she needs. As her cousin, I am reaching out with hope, asking for your support in helping Shama continue her journey toward recovery.


Shama devoted her life to educating children and caring for her family before a single moment changed everything.


Before the accident, Shama was an independent, compassionate teacher who loved helping her students learn and grow. She was also the pillar of support for her elderly parents, both over the age of 70. Today, life looks very different. The accident caused extensive damage to the left side of her brain, affecting her speech, movement, and independence. Despite these immense challenges, our family continues to believe in her strength and celebrates every small sign of progress as a meaningful step forward.


Recovery from a severe brain injury is a long journey that requires continuous care, patience, and specialized support.


After spending two months in the hospital, including one month in the ICU and prolonged intensive treatment, Shama is now continuing her recovery at home. She is unable to speak, walk independently, or perform daily activities without assistance. She requires full-time nursing care, physiotherapy, nutritional support, and constant supervision. Every day of consistent care gives her another opportunity to improve her awareness, mobility, and overall quality of life.


Current Treatment and Home Care Plan


  • Round-the-clock professional nursing care
  • Daily physiotherapy and rehabilitation sessions
  • Home caregiver assistance for all daily activities
  • Nutritional support and medical monitoring
  • Regular follow-up consultations with specialists
  • Essential medicines and supportive medical care
  • Long-term rehabilitation focused on improving independence


Although medical treatment was covered, the ongoing cost of home nursing has become an overwhelming responsibility for our family.


Thanks to the ECHS medical scheme, Shama's surgeries and hospitalization were covered. However, professional nursing care, caregiver support, rehabilitation, and home-based recovery expenses are not included. Her elderly parents are physically unable to provide the level of care she now requires, making trained nursing support absolutely essential. The funds raised through this campaign will be used entirely to ensure that Shama continues receiving uninterrupted nursing care and rehabilitation at home.


Your support can help Shama continue rebuilding her life with dignity and hope.

Every contribution directly supports the care that allows Shama to continue her recovery journey. Every physiotherapy session, every day of nursing support, and every act of kindness brings her one step closer to greater independence. If you are unable to donate, sharing this campaign with your family, friends, colleagues, and social circles will help us reach more compassionate people who can become part of her recovery story.


Together, we can help Shama continue moving forward—one step, one day, and one milestone at a time.


Our family sincerely appreciates everyone who takes the time to read Shama's story. Your generosity, encouragement, and support provide more than financial assistance—they give our family the confidence to continue providing her with the dedicated care she deserves. Every donation and every share helps us continue this journey with hope and strengthens our belief that recovery is built one day at a time.

मेरा नाम स्वाति प्रशर है और मैं अपनी कज़िन शमा बख्शी के लिए फंड इकट्ठा कर रही हूँ। 24 मई 2025 को एक भयानक सड़क दुर्घटना के बाद उन्हें गंभीर ट्रॉमेटिक ब्रेन इंजरी (TBI) हुई, जिसमें खोपड़ी में फ्रैक्चर और दिमाग में कई जगह ब्लीडिंग (हेमरेज) हुई थी। शमा 42 साल की हैं और दुर्घटना से पहले वह एक समर्पित स्कूल टीचर थीं और अपने परिवार की मुख्य कमाने वाली सदस्य भी थीं। उनकी जान बचाने के लिए कई सर्जरी की गईं और अब अस्पताल से छुट्टी मिलने के बाद उन्हें घर पर ही फुल-टाइम नर्सिंग केयर और फिजियोथेरेपी मिल रही है।


हालाँकि उनकी सर्जरी और अस्पताल का इलाज ECHS मेडिकल स्कीम के तहत कवर हो गया था, लेकिन प्रोफेशनल नर्सिंग केयर, देखभाल करने वालों, न्यूट्रिशन और रिहैबिलिटेशन का खर्च इसमें कवर नहीं होता है। हमारा परिवार पहले ही ₹6,00,000 खर्च कर चुका है और अब हम उन्हें ज़रूरी देखभाल देने के लिए और ₹6,00,000 इकट्ठा करना चाहते हैं। उनकी कज़िन होने के नाते, मैं उम्मीद के साथ आपसे मदद मांग रही हूँ ताकि शमा ठीक होने की अपनी यात्रा जारी रख सकें।


शमा ने अपना जीवन बच्चों को पढ़ाने और अपने परिवार की देखभाल में लगा दिया था, लेकिन एक पल ने सब कुछ बदल दिया।


दुर्घटना से पहले, शमा एक आत्मनिर्भर और दयालु टीचर थीं, जिन्हें अपने स्टूडेंट्स को सीखने और आगे बढ़ने में मदद करना पसंद था। वह अपने 70 साल से ज़्यादा उम्र के बुजुर्ग माता-पिता के लिए भी सहारा थीं। आज ज़िंदगी बहुत अलग दिखती है। दुर्घटना से उनके दिमाग के बाईं ओर बहुत ज़्यादा नुकसान पहुँचा, जिससे उनकी बोलने की क्षमता, चलने-फिरने और आत्मनिर्भरता पर असर पड़ा। इतनी बड़ी चुनौतियों के बावजूद, हमारा परिवार उनकी हिम्मत पर भरोसा करता है और सुधार के हर छोटे संकेत को आगे बढ़ने की दिशा में एक अहम कदम मानता है।


गंभीर ब्रेन इंजरी से ठीक होना एक लंबा सफ़र है जिसके लिए लगातार देखभाल, सब्र और खास मदद की ज़रूरत होती है।


अस्पताल में दो महीने बिताने के बाद - जिसमें एक महीना ICU में और लंबे समय तक गहन इलाज चला - शमा अब घर पर ही ठीक हो रही हैं। वह बोल नहीं पातीं, अकेले चल नहीं पातीं या बिना मदद के रोज़मर्रा के काम नहीं कर पातीं। उन्हें फुल-टाइम नर्सिंग केयर, फिजियोथेरेपी, न्यूट्रिशन सपोर्ट और लगातार देखरेख की ज़रूरत है। लगातार देखभाल का हर दिन उन्हें अपनी जागरूकता, चलने-फिरने की क्षमता और जीवन की कुल गुणवत्ता को बेहतर बनाने का एक और मौका देता है। मौजूदा इलाज और घर पर देखभाल का प्लान
