Manoj was just a regular child — cheerful, playful, full of dreams. He wanted to grow up and wear the police uniform, just like the heroes he saw on TV. But when he was still young, a small lump began to grow inside his nose. It didn’t seem like much at first… but then it started spreading. His parents — already struggling financially — took him to a local doctor. The doctor told them the truth: “He needs urgent surgery, or it will get worse.” But before they could arrange the money, COVID struck. Manoj got infected.
He was admitted to the isolation ward. The family spent everything they had just to save him from the virus. There was no money left for the surgery. By the time he recovered, the lump had become bigger. Now, it causes him pain every day. It blocks his nose.
He struggles to breathe and sleep. He feels like his face doesn’t belong to him anymore. His classmates began teasing him. One day, they called him “daaku”. He ran home crying. His mother didn’t have the heart to respond — she just held him close, both of them in tears. She doesn’t go to family events anymore. People keep asking, “What happened to Manoj?” She has no answer. Just guilt. His father is a farmer — honest, hardworking, but income is unstable.
They can’t afford even a fraction of the cost. And now, Manoj hides inside his house. He doesn’t laugh much. The boy who wanted to serve the country… now I don't even want to go outside. He’s slipping into depression. But it doesn’t have to end this way. You can change the story. You can give him the surgery — and a second chance at childhood.
TREATMENT & COST DETAILS:
Manoj is suffering from a facial vascular malformation — a condition that causes an abnormal growth of blood vessels in his face.
The only solution is surgical treatment, spread over multiple stages, under specialist doctors in Kolkata.
The total cost of treatment is ₹11,25,000 including:
- Diagnostic tests
- Surgical procedures
- Hospital admission & ICU care
- Post-operative recovery & medicines.
His family, surviving on a farmer’s income, simply cannot afford this amount.
