When Samima was just a little girl, a small lump began forming inside her mouth. At first, her family didn’t think much of it. But the lump didn’t stop.It kept growing — slowly, silently — changing her life forever. Her parents, struggling to make ends meet, took her to a local doctor. The doctor saw the lump and said: “She needs surgery in Kolkata. Or it will spread.”
But there was no money. No way to travel. No help in sight. As months passed, the lump grew larger — covering her lips, her nose, her eyes. She started having trouble breathing. Even sleeping became difficult. Her face began to deform. Her confidence shattered.
She used to go to school — a bright, curious child. But children got scared when they saw her. Teachers quietly asked her parents to stop sending her. And just like that, school was over. Now, Samima doesn’t step outside. People stare. Some turn away. Some whisper. So she hides in her home. Every day. Every hour. She no longer feels like a person — just a burden trapped in a body she didn’t choose. One night, unable to bear the pain, she told her parents: “Let me die. Or do the surgery. Don’t let me live like this anymore.”
Treatment and Cost:
Samima is suffering from a severe facial vascular malformation. She needs urgent reconstructive surgery at a multi-specialty hospital in Kolkata. Without it, her condition will worsen — possibly affecting her brain and vital organs. Doctors have advised a multi-stage surgical treatment. The total estimated cost of treatment is ₹11,25,000 — an impossible amount for her family.
