Sanghavi today is a happy and healthy 15-year-old getting ready for her 10th Board exam. Things were different when Aroh met her and her mom in 2019. It was just after she was diagnosed with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia, a type of Blood Cancer. Her mother, a widow, works as a House Maid to support her two children. She decided, with a broken heart, not to treat Sanghavi as it was beyond her means. Aroh took over the entire treatment burden of Sanghavi and got her admitted at KMCH, Coimbatore. Within a few days, it was clear that things were more complicated than they looked.
Sanghavi had Acute Myeloid Leukemia which is much more aggressive than ALL. Sanghavi was again shifted to Meenakshi Mission Hospital, Madurai because of the free treatment there. There it was decided that Bone Marrow Transplant was her only option. Her brother donated marrow for her and the procedure went well. Aroh took a house for them in Madurai and supported them in running that house all through Sanghavi’s treatment for 9 months. Aroh’s support for its children is holistic and covers every area of their journey. Our commitment to the children is life long.
