A Small Heart with a Big Fight: Prabal’s Story
Prabal wasn’t always this fragile. Until a few months ago, he was a playful child, always trying to race the wind in the narrow lanes of his village. But lately, the smile has faded. He gets tired easily. Sometimes he struggles to breathe after just a few minutes of running. What his parents thought was weakness turned out to be something much more serious — a hole in his cancer.
The diagnosis shook the family to its core. His father, Pramod, earns his living as a driver. It’s not an easy job, but he never complained — until now. Because now, the steering wheel he grips every day isn’t just about earning a wage; it’s about trying to save his child.
Doctors at AIIMS, New Delhi have confirmed that pramod needs kimotharphy. A proper, timely intervention that could let him live a normal life. The estimated cost is ₹1,50,000. For many, that may seem like a figure they could arrange with some effort. But for pramod, it’s a mountain. He works long hours, often skipping meals so his children don’t have to. Even saving ₹100 feels like an achievement.
