Help Us Save a Mother: Fighting for Her Life

Dear Friends, Family, and Kind-Hearted Strangers,

I am reaching out with a heavy heart on behalf of my dear friend, whose beloved mother is fighting the toughest battle of her life. She is a kind, selfless woman who has always been a pillar of strength for her family and community. Now, she desperately needs our help to survive.

Just weeks ago, she suffered a catastrophic brain stroke, causing swelling in 90% of the right side of her brain and leaving her left side paralysed. On top of this, her heart is functioning at only 30-35%, and her kidneys have failed, requiring ongoing dialysis. She is currently in the ICU, fighting for her life, supported by ventilators and round-the-clock care.

The doctors are doing everything possible and remain cautiously optimistic about her recovery. But the journey ahead is long, and the financial burden is overwhelming—her treatment costs approximately £1,800 per day. Her family has exhausted their savings, sold their assets, and done everything within their power to give her the best chance of survival. Now, they need our help to keep her treatment going and save her life.

To help you understand the gravity of this situation, here is a heartfelt message from her son:

“One Month Ago, Life Was Normal…”

Just one month ago, we were celebrating life. We had two family weddings and spent those joyous days surrounded by laughter, love, and happiness. My mum was the life of it all, making sure everything was perfect, as she always does.

But in a moment, everything changed. My mum suffered a severe brain stroke, and our world was shattered. Time stopped, and nothing else mattered except her survival.

We got her first aid within four hours of the attack and spent that night in the hospital, waiting helplessly for the doctors to tell us if she would make it through. Those hours felt like an eternity. The pain and fear were indescribable.

Once we understood the severity of her condition, we made the decision to transfer her to Medanta Lucknow, the best hospital in our city, to give her the best possible care. The hospital has everything she needs, and the doctors have been incredible. But the cost of keeping her alive and on the path to recovery is beyond what we can manage alone.

Our lives have turned upside down. Every day is a battle—for her life, for her recovery, and for the resources to keep her treatment going. The only thing we want is to see her come home, healthy and strong, so we can be a happy family again.

My parents have been married for almost 25 years, and they had been planning to celebrate their 25th wedding anniversary on 3rd March 2025. Now, all we pray for is for my mum to recover so we can celebrate that milestone together, at home, with her by our side.
