“She only wants to play with her brother. I want to give my little girl the chance to enjoy her childhood.”- Sonali, mother.

Our little Gargi recently turned one year old, but instead of celebrating her first birthday with dreams for the year ahead, our family had just one heartfelt wish, to see her grow up.

Most babies her age are discovering the world, and growing stronger every day. But Gargi faces a rare battle, a disorder called Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA Type 1)

What is happening to her tiny body?

She tries to move. She tries to play. She tries her best. But her tiny body struggles to keep up with her. SMA Type 1 steals Gargi’s muscle strength, making it difficult for her to move or play and, soon, even swallow or breathe.

As her father, it breaks me to see her wanting to play with her brother but being held back by a disorder she cannot understand. I keep imagining the childhood she should have, running around the house, playing with her brother, laughing without her body holding her back.

But Gargi urgently needs Zolgensma, a potentially life-saving gene therapy costing ₹11 crore. The treatment is not available in India and must be imported from the USA. The clock is ticking for Gargi as she needs the life-saving gene therapy as soon as possible to protect the strength she still has.

“I want to see my daughter grow up and have the life we wished for her.” - Sandeep, father.

For us, this is not just a treatment. It is a chance to protect the little strength Gargi still has and give her the childhood she deserves. But ₹11 crore is far beyond what our family can manage alone.

Our only hope lies in the support of kind people like you. Your donation could help my little girl play with her brother, grow stronger and have the chance to live the childhood she deserves.
