"My Husband and Her Father Left Us When She Was Diagnosed With Eye Cancer"


My name is Gayatri, and my 3-year-old daughter is losing her vision. She used to be the light of our home—always laughing, playing, and curiously exploring the world around her. But now, she’s lying in a hospital bed, barely able to open her eyes. The doctors have diagnosed her with eye cancer, and it has already blinded her left eye.


The cancer is now spreading to her right eye, and the doctors have given us just 20 days to start her treatment. If we delay, she could lose her sight completely. Every moment feels like a race against time, and as a mother, it’s devastating to watch her go through this. She’s too young to even understand why she’s in pain, why she can’t see properly anymore.



In the middle of this nightmare, my husband—her father—abandoned us. The moment we got her diagnosis, he walked away, leaving me to face this all by myself. I never imagined he would leave us when we needed him the most. Now, it's just me—trying to stay strong for my little girl, while breaking on the inside.



I’ve already sold all my jewellery, quit my job, and borrowed from friends and relatives just to get her chemotherapy started. But now, her life-saving surgery will cost ₹20 lakhs, and I have nothing left. I don’t even have enough for her next hospital visit. The thought of losing her because of money keeps me awake every night.



Please help me save my daughter. Your support could be the reason my child gets to see again, to live, to smile. I can’t do this alone. I need your help more than ever.
