Hello, my name is Venkataramani Gopalakrishnan. I am seeking support for my nephew, Siddharth Kaushik, a courageous young boy battling Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD), a rare and life-altering condition.

Siddharth lives with his loving parents, Kaushik Subramani and Anupriya Kaushik, in India, who are doing everything possible to help him get the care he needs.

The family is deeply grateful for the donations and kindness they have received so far, as it has given them strength and hope during this difficult journey. However, the fight is far from over, and time is running out.

Siddharth still needs your continued support to access the essential treatment and care he deserves to recover completely. Please keep him in your prayers and continue extending your generous donations to help him live a healthier, brighter future.

Message from the parents:

A Parent's Plea: Save Our Little Boy Before Time Runs Out

We are Kaushik and Anupriya, parents of a brave and beautiful 5-year-old boy, Siddharth Behind his joyful smile lies a silent battle Siddharth is fighting Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD), a cruel, progressive genetic disorder. Each day, DMD slowly takes away his muscles, his strength.

Watching our son struggle while knowing a treatment exists but is out of reach is the hardest pain any parent can endure. We are reaching out to you, with hope in our hearts and urgency in our voice.

We need your help to save Sidd’s life.

What Is DMD and Why Is It So Urgent?

Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy is a rare disorder caused by a mutation in the dystrophin gene the one responsible for keeping muscles intact. Children with DMD gradually lose their ability to walk, lift their arms, and even breathe or eat on their own. Most are bound to a wheelchair by their early teens and rarely live beyond their twenties.

The disease is relentlessly progressive, and there is one beacon of hope a revolutionary gene therapy called ELEVIDYS (developed by Sarepta Therapeutics, USA). This is the world’s first and only approved treatment that targets the genetic root of DMD.

The catch? It must be given early, before too much muscle is lost.

Sidd is still in the initial phase of DMD, showing no outward muscle deterioration.

Elevidys, the breakthrough gene therapy, is Siddharth’s best shot at fighting DMD. As parents, there is no greater agony than knowing a treatment exists but being unable to afford it. Every day we wait, the disease progresses.

We are running out of time.

What This Means to Us: A Hug, A Walk, A Future

Elevidys is not just medicine. It is Siddharth’s only chance at life. Without it, we face a future where our little boy will stop walking, stop playing, and slowly lose the ability to even hug us.

With it, he could grow up, go to school, make friends, and dare to dream something every child deserves. We want to give our son that chance. We want to hear his laughter echo for years to come.

But we can't do it alone..
