Sandesh Kadam, a salesman by profession, saw the worst days of his life when his dear son was diagnosed with blood cancer. Doctors had given an estimate of about Rs. 12 lakh for the entire treatment.
Oneindia played a major role in bringing strangers together for this noble cause. Oneindia began a crowdfunding task where its readers were made aware of Sandesh's situation and were encouraged and requested to help him. People from all over showed generosity and helped Shree get treated.
The amount raised has helped Shree receive chemotherapy sessions successfully. He is slowly turning to be the active and happy child that he used to be. He has also started eating and drinking normally. Sandesh is grateful to all the donors for their heartfelt thoughts and generous donations that have helped his son recover from the life-threatening illness.
Read Shree's story below.
Shree,
a
3.5-year-old
child,
used
to
be
fun
loving
and
cheerful
but
the
sight
of
doctors,
nurses
and
syringes
had
turned
his
days
into
a
nightmare.
He
imagined
doctors
as
demons
and
slipped
into
his
blanket
whenever
he
saw
any
doctor
come
close
to
him.
The
major
part
of
Sandesh's
salary
goes
into
spending
for
the
house
rent
which
is
Rs.
4000.
All
of
Sandesh's
savings
had
already
been
spent
and
an
amount
of
Rs.
90,000
had
already
been
spent
in
Shree's
treatment.
This
was
just
one
step
with
millions
of
steps
yet
to
be
covered
to
enable
Shree
to
recover
completely.
Sandesh's
salary
was
barely
able
to
cover
the
costs
of
Shree's
tests
and
medicines.
The day Shree's cancer was detected was one of the worst days for this family. Shree was happily playing in the park with his father, when suddenly he began panting and he looked totally out of energy. His hands and lips turned white and his body appeared low on blood.
Doctors initially doubted that there could be a lung issue. However, a bone marrow test revealed that Shree was suffering from Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia. The disease progresses very rapidly and leads to the creation of immature blood cells. Shree was given an injection which was worth Rs. 1000 daily. After exhausting all the savings, Sandesh chose to take a loan of Rs. 50,000 from his employer.
Every day Sandesh cried secretly seeing his son's condition. He didn't wish to reveal his tears to his son or mother because he wanted to be their source of strength and belief. His son missed running around in the park and watching his favourite cartoon on the television, as there was no TV in the hospital room. Each chemotherapy session left a bitter taste in his mouth that prevented him from eating his favourite dishes. Shree became angry with his father for making him go through all this. A 3.5-year old's mind is too young to understand the ordeal of his illness.
Being the sole breadwinner for his family, Sandesh came out to share his story in the hope that strangers would sympathize with him and help him with his son's treatment. Sandesh wished to end the torment of the painful syringes and chemotherapy sessions but only money could cure his son soon and help him get discharged from the hospital. This is when OneIndia stepped in to help.
