“Fighting just to stay alive, enduring unimaginable pain. My child is fighting all the odds for his survival. Rohit was a healthy child, but one day while he was playing, he started vomiting which didn’t stop. We took Rohit to a nearby hospital where the doctor gave him a few medicines to stop vomiting. But after a few days, our 4-year-old started getting seizures. When we rushed him to the hospital, the MRI scan revealed a Deadly Tumor in his brain along with Hydrocephalus. We were devastated. We couldn’t imagine such a thing would happen to our only son in our worst of nightmares. We are doing everything possible to save our son. We want our Rohit to stay alive.”
