This is Bhanu Pratap Singh Chauhan. When we first met him in a train compartment, he seemed like a normal child until he needed to use the loo and his father had to assist him as he couldn’t manage on his own.
It was then that his mother told us his lower back is paralyzed, and he cannot play, dance, or walk independently. We spoke with them for the rest of the journey and learned that he has only a few years left as they have no money for his treatment.
Our team sprang into action. We contacted doctors across the city, spoke to the administration, and after a tedious 20-day process, we were able to secure his admission to AIIMS Delhi. The Collector of Indore, Mr. Illayya Raja, provided a check for Rs 50,000 for his wheelchair and tickets.
We share this to show that when you move forward with good intentions, the path often clears itself. We have arranged drawing classes for Bhanu, as he is gifted with creativity, and he is currently in Delhi for his treatment.
