Her little body shakes, but her spirit refuses to give up.

I am Gayatri, a mother who has been living through heartbreak since the day my baby was born. My little one came into this world only a year ago, but in this one year, she has faced more pain than most of us do in a lifetime.

When my baby was just 3 days old, her blood sugar and oxygen levels dropped dangerously low. Her body turned cold, and the doctors said her brain wasn’t getting enough blood.

She was rushed to the NICU, where she spent 12 terrifying days between life and death. I still remember standing outside those glass doors, praying that she would breathe, that I would get to hold her again.

But when she came home, I realized that her battle wasn’t over, it was only beginning. Because of that damage to her brain, my baby now suffers from severe neurological problems. She has daily seizures that shake her tiny body uncontrollably. 

She cannot see properly anymore, and half of her body is paralyzed. Watching her struggle to move, cry in pain, and still try to smile when I touch her hand, it breaks me every single day.

Some people have told me, “You must have done something wrong in your life, that’s why your child is suffering.”

And I ask them, does every suffering child mean their mother has sinned? If that were true, wouldn’t every mother on earth be guilty of something?

I know pain. I lost my first baby to a miscarriage, and when this child came into my life, I believed God had given me a second chance. 

I promised myself that I would never give up on her, no matter what.

My husband works tirelessly repairing gas stoves and cylinders, earning barely ₹15,000 a month. Every rupee we earn goes into our baby’s medicines, hospital visits, and therapies. 

We live in a small rented room, cutting down on food and basic needs just to keep her treatment going. Till now, we have somehow managed, all borrowed from relatives and loans.

 But the doctors at Abhinav Balaji Superspeciality Hospital, Ghaziabad have told us that she needs continued treatment worth ₹5 lakhs, treatment that can help her gain some control over her body and give her a chance at a normal life.

Every day, I wake up hoping for a miracle, hoping to see her move her little hand or look into my eyes. I don’t want my baby to grow up dependent on others. I want her to live with dignity, to walk, to play, to see this world she’s been denied.

I am begging for help, not for myself, but for my child’s chance at life. Please, help this mother give her baby the future she deserves. Time is slipping away, and every delay makes her condition worse.

Your kindness today can help a mother keep her promise, to fight for her baby till her very last breath!”
