“My name is Nikita, and I am the mother of Shivansh.

It has been 2.5 years since my son was born… and I have never been able to feed him.

As a mother, one of the most natural and loving things is to feed your child with your own hands. But I have never experienced that joy. From the day Shivansh was born, he has not been able to eat like other children. He survives only on liquids, and every day feels like a struggle for his tiny body.

While other children his age are learning to eat, play, and grow stronger, my son is fighting a condition called Hirschsprung’s disease, where his intestines do not function properly. Because of this, he cannot pass stool normally or digest food the way a child should.

I watch other mothers feeding their children, and my heart silently breaks. I keep wondering… will I ever get to feed my son? Will he ever be able to eat a simple meal and smile?

Doctors at Six Sigma Hospital, Nashik have advised surgery after necessary tests to understand the extent of his condition. This surgery is his only chance to live a normal life. The cost of treatment is around ₹3,00,000, which is beyond what we can afford.

As a mother, I feel helpless. I cannot ease his pain, I cannot feed him, and I cannot fight this battle alone.”

With folded hands and a heart full of hope,
Nikita Sayaji, mother of a 2.5-years-old Shivansh
