“Why is my head bald? Am I going to die?”, asks a scared Soumya when she sees her own reflection in the mirror. Her mother Rekha holds her tears back and consoles her little one saying, “It’s because of the fever you have. It will go away if you eat more vegetables and fruits.”And that was the last time, little Soumya  saw herself in the mirror. Now, she just lies in her bed, scared and sad, tearfully begging her mother to take her home. But Rekha can’t, because little Soumya needs a bone marrow transplant to fight blood cancer. 

It all started as fever and vomiting 

Atul Kumar and Rekha were busy making plans for Soumya’s first birthday celebrations in their home in Mumbai. But Soumya started having fever and she was given medicines to recover by their doctor. But when her fever didn’t subside, her parents took her to child specialists for better consultation. After some tests, Soumya was diagnosed with Acute lymphoblastic leukemia, a severe form of cancer that affects the white blood cells and progresses rapidly if not treated on time.

Her father is struggling every day to arrange money 

Atul kumar works as a salesman in a jewellery shop and he can’t afford a transplant that costs 15 lakhs. Atul kumar had to sell his wife’s jewellery and even borrowed money from others to help his daughter fight cancer for the first time. But now, with huge debts to be paid and no one to seek help from, he is desperately struggling to arrange money for his daughter’s transplant.

She needs your help to fight cancer 

Soumya has been through a lot for her age. All this little one wants is to go back home. But she can only do it after undergoing a life-saving transplant. Soumya could fight cancer for the first time but now lack of funds stand in her way to fight cancer for one last time. Soumya needs your help to fight cancer. Your contribution can give Soumya a cancer-free life.
