After Losing Four Babies, This Child Is All That We Have!

“We waited years to hear a child cry in our home. Years of prayers, hospital corridors, and heartbreaks that no parent should have to endure. Before Tanishk came into our lives, we lost three babies. 

We saw tiny lives slip away at 8 months, at 9 months, when dreams were already formed, names already chosen. After Tanishk was born, we lost one more child. Today, Tanishk is our only living child. He is not just our son, he is our entire world.

Tanishk is 5 years old, but he has never known what it feels like to sit on his own, to walk towards his parents, or to call us “maa” and “papa.” He was born with Hydrocephalus and Spina Bifida.

There is water accumulating in his head, and clots in his nerves that cause him constant pain. Many nights, he cries silently, his body unable to express what his heart feels. And every cry breaks us a little more.

I am his father. I try to be strong. I really do. I go out every day, working as an AC repair technician, and sometimes riding for Rapido, earning barely a month. I smile in front of people. I tell myself, “Be strong for your family.” But when I see my child in pain… I cannot hold it together. No father is prepared to watch his son suffer and be helpless.

I have already spent ₹35,000–₹40,000 on basic treatments and consultations, money arranged by skipping meals, borrowing small amounts, and pushing ourselves beyond our limits. Recently, we went to Divine Multispeciality Hospital, Delhi, where doctors told us something that shook us to the core:
Tanishk needs urgent surgery. The total cost is ₹7–8 lakh.” 

“I am his mother. I carried him for nine months after so many losses. When I see him cry, my heart aches in ways I cannot explain. A mother’s arms are meant to comfort her child, but I cannot take away his pain. I watch his eyes fill with tears, and all I can do is whisper prayers. Every day, I fear, what if we wait too long? What if time runs out?

Doctors have warned us that delaying the surgery can worsen his condition. Every passing day matters. Every delay increases the risk. This surgery is not a choice, it is his only chance at a life with less pain, more dignity, and hope.

We are asking for our child’s life! Please help us save Tanishk. Please help us give our only child a chance to live without pain. For us, he is everything. And without help, we may lose the only miracle that stayed.”
