Nitin woke up with a shock, sweating profusely. He looked around, trying to recognize his surroundings. He heard some cars race past on the road, the sound of the policemen chatting in the dark. The public park near the hospital is his new home at night as he cannot afford a room. He lay down on the grass again, thinking about his son, Vimarsh, who is in the hospital. The last image of his son made his heart sink. His 1-year-old son was bleeding from his nose and he had no option but to leave his wife alone in the hospital to take care of him. He has no money left to save his dying son.

Baby Vimarsh did not have any noticeable problems at birth, but after 3 months everything went wrong for him

Nitin, his wife, Priya, and daughter, Vanika, welcomed Baby Vimarsh to their happy family in 2017. Nitin was doing well at work and with the addition of a baby boy, their lives were complete. But their happiness came with an expiry date, something they might not have imagined even in their worst nightmares.

The happy family was overjoyed with the addition of Baby Vimarsh, but fate had other plans
Vimarsh fell ill, no antibiotics could help him. His liver and spleen got enlarged. He was a diagnosed with HLH, a rare disease which made his own cells attack him. Their sweet, little son was dying.

The disease was killing him and his cure was a bone marrow transplant.

Baby Vimarsh’s body temperature never went back to normal. He got weaker, and he fed lesser and lesser with every passing day. The doctors told Nitin and Priyanka that intensive chemotherapy followed by a bone marrow transplant is the only way their sweet baby could be saved. Nitin and Priya didn't think twice. They decided do everything possible to keep their son alive.

The bank supported Nitin for the initial treatment and relatives, friends came forward to help. With all this support, the treatment continued and the family thought they can save their little son. But nobody could have predicted what were to happen next.

Baby Vimarsh finally got the transplant, but deadly infections threaten to kill him now

After months of fighting his genetic disease through chemotherapy, Vimarsh got his transplant done two months back. However, within a month, his body started rejecting the donor cells. The symptoms that followed were so severe for little Vimarsh to bear.

This baby is very critical now and needs constant care for 2 months in order to make it out alive

Vimarsh needs 2 months of stay at the hospital in Delhi where he will get medicines and life-saving injections to fight his post-transplant infections. He is still not able to eat anything and is surviving on nutrition supplements given via IV line. His vitals are also very unstable. Even a day out of the hospital’s sterile environment is enough to kill him. His father, Nitin, has already exhausted all his savings on treatment and other expenses till now. The family is going through a very hard time figuring how to help their baby.

How you can help

This father has spent everything he saved, begged and borrowed to support his son's treatment. Now, they cannot even buy a meal. Nitin and Priya go through the trauma of watching their son slip in to the hands of death. For a father who cannot buy a meal, arranging funds to save his son's life looks impossible now. His last hope is in the generosity of people who would help to save his dying son.
