A Husband’s Plea: Help Our Family Survive This Crisis

“I never imagined life would bring me to a point where I would feel this lost, this broken from within. I don’t know what will happen next, or how I will manage the days ahead. It’s just me and my wife, Ranu. We have no children, no one to lean on. But what we share is more than just a marriage, it’s a bond deeper than words.

If you look at Ranu’s photo, you’ll see how full of life she once was, smart, independent, and always managing everything on her own. She never had any illness. She was my strength, my support, my home. And then one day, everything changed. She suddenly collapsed unconscious in the bathroom, and within moments, our entire world turned upside down. Her whole body became paralyzed.

She was admitted to the ICU, and I stood there alone, watching her fight for her life. The doctors told me she is suffering from GBS, a rare autoimmune disorder. For the past six months, she has been in the most critical condition.

Today, I am everything for her. I take care of her day and night, feeding her seven times a day through a nasal tube, taking her to the bathroom, arranging her medicines, physiotherapy, and doctor visits. I barely sleep at night, constantly checking on her. Somewhere in all this, I have lost my own appetite and strength.

There was a time when I would fall sick, and Ranu would care for me with so much love. Today, I am doing everything I can for her. But my own health is failing. I suffer from diabetes, high blood pressure, thyroid, and high uric acid. My left leg has a rod and six screws, and due to complications, I even lost one leg.

We belong to a Kashmiri Pandit family and have already seen the pain of losing our home once. Today, we live in a small quarter with leaking ceilings and broken pipelines. The government support we receive is just ₹3500 a month. I used to work a private job, but now I cannot leave her alone even for a moment.

I am trying my best, but I am exhausted- physically, emotionally, and financially. I don’t know how long I can keep going like this. That is why I am asking for your help today.

Donate as much as you can and help my wife get back on her feet.

Even a little amount can help us get rid of this pain.”
