“Why is my head so heavy, Maa?”

At just 10 months old, Vanshika doesn’t understand her pain.
But every time she cries, her mother fears the worst — that her baby’s brain won’t survive one more day of delay… 

Meet Vanshika: A Baby Girl in Pain

Vanshika is just 10 months old, and unlike other babies her age, she isn’t crawling, smiling endlessly, or playing with toys. Instead, she struggles to lift her head — swollen and filled with fluid due to a life-threatening condition called Spina Bifida with Gross Hydrocephalus.She was born with a neural tube defect, which means her spinal cord didn’t form properly. This birth defect has caused a dangerous buildup of fluid in her brain, slowly increasing the pressure in her tiny skull, putting her life at constant risk. If not treated immediately, it could lead to severe brain damage, permanent disability… or even death. 

Doctors at Hospital Say This Is an Emergency

Vanshika is being treated at a hospital where neurologists have diagnosed her with:

• Spina Bifida with Myelomeningocele
   
• Gross Hydrocephalus
   
• Ventricular defects
   
• Brain fluid pressure
   
• Herniation of the spinal cord
   

Doctors have recommended urgent spinal and brain surgery (VP Shunt insertion) to drain the fluid and relieve pressure from her brain. According to the medical estimate issued by the hospital, the total cost of treatment is ₹10.5 lakhs. 

This includes:

• Brain and spinal MRI
   
• Pre-surgery diagnostics
   
• Life-saving neurosurgery
   
• ICU care and hospitalization

A Family That’s Struggling Just to Survive

Vanshika’s father works as a school bus conductor, earning just ₹6,000 per month. Her mother is a homemaker, and Vanshika has an elder brother who goes to school.The family survives on a basic income, barely able to afford daily food, let alone advanced neurosurgery worth lakhs. They don’t own property, savings, or assets. For them, ₹10.5 lakhs is not just a number — it’s an impossible dream. 

“All I want is to see her grow up…”

Every day, Vanshika’s mother wakes up with one silent prayer — that her baby will survive. She watches her daughter suffer, knowing she can’t fix it, feed her properly, or even afford her treatment.They are doing everything they can. But love cannot replace medicine, and tears cannot fund surgery.
