Dear Friends and Family,

On July 2nd, our beloved mom was diagnosed with Acute Myeloid Leukemia, an aggressive blood cancer with a high-risk prognosis. This news has devastated us, and we are now racing against time to secure the best possible treatment to give her the best chance of survival.

For those who know our family, you know what an extraordinary person our mom is. For those who don't, let us share a bit about her remarkable life. Our mom has been the bedrock of our family, raising five children, including my sister with special needs. Her strength and kindness have profoundly shaped us, and through us, she has undoubtedly touched many of your lives with her unwavering spirit and warm smile.

Now, she needs our help more than ever. We have started her treatment at Christian Medical College (CMC) in Vellore, India, following consultations with multiple hematology oncologists. The doctors have laid out an extensive treatment plan, including chemotherapy, a bone marrow transplant, and supportive care over the next 1-2 years with the estimated cost of $150,000.

This journey will take a tremendous toll on our family—mentally, emotionally, and financially. We are reaching out to our friends, family, and community for help. If you can, please consider contributing any amount towards her treatment. Additionally, sharing this message with your network can expand the reach of our fundraising efforts.

Cancer is a dreadful disease, but we refuse to give up without a fight. Your support, love, and prayers make this fight possible.

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.
