At just 14 years old, Marsina Khatun from Murshidabad, West Bengal, has spent most of her life battling Vascular Malformation—a rare and painful condition affecting her lower lip, tongue, oral cavity, and face. What started as a small swelling has now grown to the point where eating, speaking, and even smiling have become a daily struggle. For most children, going to school is about learning and making friends. But for Marsina, it became a place of judgment.

Some kids whispered about her, others avoided her, and many simply stared. But Marsina never let the world define her. Despite her struggles, she dreams of becoming a doctor—not just for herself, but to help others like her who feel unheard, unseen, and left behind by the system. But before she can fulfill her dream, she needs your help.

Marsina Needs Urgent Surgery

Doctors at Om Hospital have confirmed that Marsina’s condition has reached a critical stage. The tumor has continued to grow, making it extremely difficult for her to eat solid food. If left untreated, it could lead to severe infections and life-threatening complications. Her only hope is an urgent multi-specialty surgery that will remove the tumor and restore her ability to eat, speak, and live normally. But there’s one major obstacle—the cost.The estimated total surgery and treatment cost is ₹11,25,000—an impossible amount for her family to afford.

Her father, a cook, has worked tirelessly to provide for his family. He has already taken loans, sought help from friends, and done everything possible to give Marsina the treatment she needs. But despite his best efforts, they are still falling short. With time running out, Marsina’s family is turning to you—to kind souls who believe that every child deserves a chance to live without pain.

Why Your Support Can Change Her Life

Marsina doesn’t just want to survive—she wants to live.

She dreams of:

 Eating her favorite food without pain.

 Laughing freely, without feeling self-conscious.

 Going to school without whispers following her.

 Becoming a doctor to help others like her.

For Marsina and her family, this isn’t just about money—it’s about hope, dignity, and a chance to build a future free from pain and stigma. Every rupee counts, and every contribution brings her closer to a new life.
