We are writing to you today with an urgent appeal regarding Sathwika Sri Durga, an 18-month-old girl (UHID: CUV-00164629), daughter of Peddi Raju and Durgambika. Sathwika has been diagnosed with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (blood cancer) and is currently undergoing chemotherapy at Rainbow Children’s Hospital in Vijayawada.
Her treatment plan involves an initial intensive phase lasting six months, followed by a two-year maintenance phase. The estimated cost for the intensive phase, which includes chemotherapy, hospitalization, investigations, and supportive care (IV antibiotics, IV antifungal, and nutritional support), is approximately 12-13 Lakhs INR. Please note that the cost may increase if unexpected complications arise. Sathwika is currently in the interim maintenance phase.
Sathwika is the first and only child of Peddi Raju and Durgambika. As daily wage laborers, they are struggling to cope with the immense financial burden of her treatment. Watching their daughter suffer is heartbreaking, and they are doing everything they can, but their resources are insufficient.
Rainbow Children's Hospital in Vijayawada has recommended Sathwika's critical case to our Child Vikas Foundation. Given the family's Below Poverty Line (BPL) background, we humbly appeal for your kindness and generosity. Your prayers and financial support can make a significant difference in saving Sathwika's life.
