A Single Mother's Race Against Time to Save Her 12-Year-Old Daughter


Priyanka, a single mother... lost her husband due to a heart attack. Now she’s watching her daughter fight for life on a ventilator.

The Phone Call That Shattered Everything

August 13th. A normal school morning. Her daughter, a bright student, was preparing for board exams, focused on her studies and future dreams. Then came the call every parent dreads – their child had fallen unconscious at school.

By evening, this bright student couldn't breathe. Priyanka carried her unconscious child through three different hospitals, begging doctors to save her baby.

The diagnosis crushed her: Guillain-Barré Syndrome – so rare it strikes "one in millions." The delayed diagnosis triggered a heart attack in her 12-year-old. Her brain starved of oxygen and even her lungs got infected.

Now her daughter lies in a coma at Ananda Hospital, every breath dependent on machines that cost thousands of Rupees per day.



Ten Years of Single Motherhood - Now Her Worst Nightmare

When her husband died of a heart attack, Priyanka became everything to her overnight. His bike repair shop closed. Financial security vanished. But she survived. 
She With only ₹6,000 a month, she managed to keep her daughter in school and gave her hope for a better future.

Every single day for 10 years, she's been the only one making life-or-death decisions for her family.
Now she sits in the ICU, making the biggest decision of her life - and she can't afford to save her own child.

₹10 Lakhs Gone, ₹5 Lakhs Borrowed - Nearly Finished


₹10 lakhs gone. Everything she had. Everything her in-laws could give. Everything relatives could lend.
No school fees. No future plans. Just hospital corridors and the smell of disinfectant.

₹8 lakhs more is needed to continue the ventilator support. 

Her daughter needs 3-4 months of continuous ICU care before she might breathe alone again.

Every day it's delayed, her daughter's organs shut down more.
Tonight, Priyanka will count the last few thousand rupees in borrowed money while her daughter's ventilator hums. Tomorrow, those machines might stop.

Your Donation Changes Everything Tonight

Hundreds of people will scroll past this story. Most will feel sad and move on.
But you're different.

This mother has spent 10 years being everything to her daughters. ₹8 lakhs isn't just a hospital bill – it's a 12-year-old's entire future, a 9-year-old's sister, and a single mother's reason to keep fighting.


Every rupee you donate tonight keeps this family's hope alive.
Three months from now, when her daughter is conscious and healing, when her 9-year-old is back in school, when Priyanka can finally breathe – they'll remember that strangers cared enough to save their family.

You’re not just donating to a medical treatment. You’re also rescuing a single mother who's carried the world on her shoulders for 10 years all alone.
