Shilpa, a bright and soft-spoken 12-year-old girl, was born with a rare condition called Vascular Malformation. Over the years, the swelling worsened. What started as a small mark became a constant source of pain—both physical and emotional. She couldn’t eat properly. Couldn’t sleep well. And she certainly couldn’t live like a normal child. 

Even her younger brother started facing mockery at school.
“How’s your sister doing? Still looking like that?”
Children can be cruel, but the silence of adults was louder.

A Father’s Love—And His Helplessness

Shilpa’s father is an auto driver who works long hours, rain or shine, just to keep food on the table. Her mother is a homemaker trying to hold the family together. The household income is barely enough for survival, let alone life-saving surgery. Their only wish is to give Shilpa the childhood she deserves. But the required treatment is far beyond what they can afford.

She’s Not Afraid of the Surgery—She’s Hopeful

Despite all that she has gone through, Shilpa is full of hope. She’s excited about the upcoming surgery because it means she won’t have to hide behind her hair anymore. It means she can look in the mirror and smile. It means she can dream again—freely. Her medical team has confirmed that with the right treatment, Shilpa can live a normal, pain-free life. But they need help. Your help.

Let’s Not Make Her Wait Any Longer

The cost of her complete treatment is ₹18,25,000. An amount that feels impossible for her family. But if we all come together—donating even a little—it becomes possible. This is your chance to make a lasting impact. Not just on her body, but on her soul. We often scroll past stories like these, telling ourselves someone else will help.

But what if you are the reason Shilpa walks out of the hospital smiling?

What if your contribution lets her brother stop worrying about what the kids at school say?

What if your kindness lets a father finally sleep knowing his daughter isn’t crying in pain anymore?
