Rida Bano is 7-year-old and is from Chhattisgarh where she lives with her parents and
2 siblings. Right now she has reached almost at the end of her treatment which has
been going on for a year. At just six years old, Rida was diagnosed with Acute
Lymphocytic Leukemia, a relentless illness that would have defeated most but not
Rida. Coming to a city 100kms away from their village for treatment is not an easy task
for them. It involves a lot of traveling, bus fare, separation from the family and a lot of
expenses that the family can ill afford. But the family came together to make this
happen and Rida is nearing competition of her treatment. Sadly, bad times continue to
haunt the family and Rida lost her father a few months back to an accident. Aroh Social
Worker is always there with the family, giving the necessary support, to continue the
treatment and Rida is moving on.
